From around 1800, in the United States, people opposed to slavery were planning ways to alleviate the problem.

Some abolitionists and slaveholders collaborated on the idea to set up a colony in Africa for former African-American slaves.

Between 1821 and 1847, by a combination of purchase and conquest, American ‘ Societies ’ developed the colony ‘ Liberia .’ On July 26, 1847, it declared its independence.
