How a Movement to Send Formerly Enslaved People to Africa Created Liberia | HISTORY

Starting 50 years before the end of slavery, the American Colonization Society moved 12,000 people from America to West Africa.

www.history.com

“If all earthly power were given me, I should not know what to do, as to the existing institution. My first impulse would be to free all the slaves, and send them to Liberia,–to their own native land. But a moment’s reflection would convince me, that whatever of high hope, (as I think there is) there may be in this, in the long run, its sudden execution is impossible. If they were all landed there in a day, they would all perish in the next ten days; and there are not surplus shipping and surplus money enough in the world to carry them there in many times ten days."

"Still, the United States did not recognize Liberia as an independent nation until 1862, during the American Civil War. That year, enslaved people in Washington, D.C. won their freedom, and Congress approved funds to relocate those who wanted to move to Liberia or Central America. President Abraham Lincoln still believed at this late date that voluntary colonization should go hand-in-hand with emancipation because he thought black and white people couldn’t live equally in the same country. Later in the war, however, Lincoln abandoned the idea of colonization and publicly supported black men gaining the right to vote.

Food for thought:

"United we Stand, divided we fail". The Motto of the Kentucky? How would the people of Kentucky allow McConnell to continue to divide We the People?

So, why do you keep trying to divide us?

Define "us"?

Do you believe the Governor of Texas, the leader of the Republicans in the Senate and Donald Trump are part of us? And by "'us" I mean being aware of and with empathy of We the People?

Exhibit A

The defense rests.

This is done through racism.

Republican leadership live by the creed that if they can keep the poorest whites angry at Black people, they'll win every time.

Seems to be a very successful and winning formula for the Republican Party.

. . and what do you think the poorest whites' reaction will be when, what little they have, go to reparations programs, ostensibly, for maybe folks better off than they are?

Do you think that will unite or divide us as a nation?

The poorest whites are either drug or alcohol dependent, and/or poorly or uneducated, or disabled. I infer you are defining those who can't secure employment in minimum wage jobs, and live on the dole. Of course not only the whites, but other minorities fit the same demographic.

Competition for higher paying jobs, such as civil service, which provides benefits (health Insurance and Retirement, sick leave and vacations) is competitive, meaning they must have at least a high school diploma, and in some cases a GED, and be able to pass a written test (or such as a typing test) and/or an oral interview. And of course the ambition to want to work.

Did you really just claim that it's "ambition to want to work" that makes people strive to get a Civil Service job? Here I thought it was that a Civil Service job meant you DIDN'T have to work but still got good pay and benefits with ZERO chance of getting fired! Silly me... (eye roll)

You thought wrong. You are brainwashed or incapable of meeting the minimum requirements to secure a civil service job. Stereotyping is an over generalized belief about a particular group or class of people and an example of bigotry.

Yep, lack of ambition is one of those minimum requirements. No doubt you must qualify...idiot.

F. off asshole. As I've made of note before, your nom de plume is ludicrous, thinking is not your forte.

Well, we sure know ambition is not your forte...dumbass.

Calling anyone a dumbass without any substantive evidence is clearly an example of a non thinker.

No kidding, yet your posts provide clear evidence...dumbass.

Did you vote for Joe Biden, Rye? He wrote the Senate version of the Clinton Crime Bill that put more black people in Federal prisons than any other piece of legislation in US history. Trump actually pardoned some of those people that Joe Biden put in prison. So who's REALLY the more empathetic and who just pretends to be?

I voted for Biden, and I was working as the supervisor in the Juvenile Unit in my county of one million diverse people at the time the crime bill was promulgated. In those days Crack and gangs were the dominant problem. At one time the Juvenile hall held more juveniles for homicide than in the entire time before the Crack epidemic. It was a different time and the fear of gang warfare in the streets was a reality.

The communities where Crack was sold on corners attracted white kids onto these corners raising fears and demanding a crack down by LE by their parents. The irony of this was the black community used pot, and in a short time learned Crack was too dangerous to mess with, but it was profitable and almost immediately addictive.

See how the vote went, here:

U.S. Senate: U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 103rd Congress - 1st Session

www.senate.gov

Putting the onus on then Senator Biden and the pretense that Trump was a good guy is bullshit. Trump knew he needed the black vote, and would do anything to win the next election (as was seen on Jan 6th last).

Do your homework before making judgments. The vote on the Crime Bill was 95 - 4 (two R's and two D's) and one D not voting. Your post is nothing more than an echo of the Big Lie; all too common among the sore losers who have been fooled by trump.

It is unfortunate that you lack honesty and try to use facts of the past as relevant to present and the future. At this time in our history the Republican Party is fully intent of suppressing the vote of the Black Communities as seen by the Governor of Texas, among a large number of other RED STATES.

Face this FACT: The GOP is opposed to universal suffrage, and thus opposed to democracy in America.

I don't see either major party trying to unify the nation. All they're after is a slim majority - just enough to stay in power, but no more.

Are you one of those democrat party racists who think that blacks and hispanics are either too lazy or too stupid to get an ID to vote.....

I thought Manchin's comment after the Insurrection Commission vote fail was pretty close to the core truth that McConnell sees everything through political gain. And it is possible to win both the WH and Senate with 48% of the popular vote

I give you Lincoln's letter to Horace Greely:

Hon. Horace Greely: Executive Mansion,
Dear Sir Washington, August 22, 1862.

I have just read yours of the 19th. addressed to myself through the New-York Tribune. If there be in it any statements, or assumptions of fact, which I may know to be erroneous, I do not, now and here, controvert them. If there be in it any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here, argue against them. If there be perceptable in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I waive it in deference to an old friend, whose heart I have always supposed to be right.

As to the policy I “seem to be pursuing” as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt.

I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be “the Union as it was.” If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.

I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free. Yours,

A. LINCOLN

Your idea of unity is to simply grind everybody under your uber-woke jack boot. That isn't actual unity, though. Actual unity involves compromise, moving towards the middle and not waging war on anybody who does not goose step along with

That applies to most of the libs here

They won or stole an election depending whose telling the story and now they are drunk on power

They demand conformity to their ideas

They were drunk on power when Obama won and were convinced they would never lose another election...they were wrong...hence the the last 4 year temper tantrum.

There is simply no way to know when they're being serious.

Speaking of serious, do you seriously think biden is capable of standing up yo russia and china?

He's already doing that. I'm waiting for him to stand up to you nut-bars.

Russia and China think he is a weak joke to be used. And he is.

I do. Not because President Biden is as powerful as the two despots, Putin and XI; because he listens to the best and the brightest of the day, and not with the pretense that he is smarter than them, and more knowledgeable than Generals, the intelligent agency, agents, and the Scientists; he also has a much stronger understanding of history and frames it all with his empathy and common sense.

He doesn’t even know what day it is. He is a parrot nothing more.

Only the young idiots in the US media think he’s doing a good job

They don’t think so either...they just cover for Democrats.
