What happened to African-Americans who didn't want to be slaves and applied to go back to Africa to establish a country?

1776, Washington issued the Declaration of Independence. The struggle between European and American immigrants and British colonists ended in victory. After that, the United States got rid of British colonial rule, but a system still exists. This system is black slavery brought by British colonists.

The retention of this system makes blacks continue to suffer from inferiority complex, and they will be banned from interacting with their masters for life. Freedom and liberation have become their luxury and their lifelong pursuit. For the sake of freedom, some leaders stubbornly stood up and negotiated with white slave owners, hoping that they would grant their little wishes. One of the pioneers who fought for the freedom of slaves was Paul Cuff, a black man who brought slaves back to Africa.

0 1 trying to save black Paul.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, Paul began his plan to save slaves. The plan has been hovering in his mind for many years. Paul is the son of a free black man. His father was sold into slavery at the age of ten. After going to America, Paul's father successfully redeemed himself and became a free black man. Later, Paul's father married an Indian and gave birth to Paul.

Paul went to sea with his father to do trade since he was a child, so he often saw some black slaves from Africa on cargo ships. Paul felt sympathy for these slaves with the same skin color as himself, perhaps because his father had the same experience, and Paul had a special feeling for these slaves. Paul wants to save them and release those who don't want to be slaves.

How will Paul save the black people?

There are two feasible ways to save slaves. The first is direct resistance. Resistance is equivalent to a gamble. It may be successful, but it may also be a total loss. At that time, the black population accounted for only 7%. Compared with the power of white people, slaves are like ants in front of elephants, and they may be trampled to death at any time.

In addition to the shortage of manpower, black weapons are also relatively backward, and there is no chance of winning against them. Since this road was irresistible, Paul came up with another road-immigration.

03 Paul's road to immigration

The so-called immigration means emigrating back to Africa. According to Paul's meaning, it is to lead a group of black people back to Africa and build a home belonging to black people. Paul brought this idea to the then President Madison. For the sake of interests, the American government agreed to Paul's idea, so Paul led 38 free blacks to embark on a big ship returning to Africa in 18 16. Now they have come to Africa to explore resources on the Pepper Coast (now Liberia).

Unfortunately, these black people who went to Africa didn't get God's blessing. They are running out of money and other supplies. In addition, they encountered some sudden diseases on the way. These unfortunate experiences took some lives, among which Paul died of illness. In this way, a hero who was desperate for slaves died in Africa, which is the best ending.

Residual temperature of migration movement

After this operation, the United States raised funds to build the Elizabeth at 1820. The ship successfully landed on the African continent with a group of blacks, and a group of immigrants from America established colonies in Africa.

They are there waiting for the arrival of the next batch of black people. A year later, another group of blacks went to Africa, and through the means of colonists, they exchanged a piece of territory with the local Turkish residents as their own colony. This area is now the capital of Liberia.

Paul's action opened a way for African Americans to return to Africa. It's a pity that he died on the road and didn't see the black people build their own country on the road in Africa. Black Americans have established two countries in Africa, one is Liberia and the other is Maryland. Maryland was annexed by Liberia after four years of existence, and Liberia still exists today.
