Is Liberia a country founded by black Americans?

Liberia is indeed a country founded by black Americans

History of founding:

At the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, the number of free blacks in the United States increased rapidly, which led to the abolition of slavery. Communists and slaveholders shared the same panic. They were worried that free blacks would cause a large number of white workers to lose their jobs, they were worried about an increase in urban crime rates, they were worried that free blacks would incite slave riots in the South, and they were even worried that "uneducated blacks" would make the United States Social "devaluation"... In short, the entire society has formed an atmosphere that is conducive to the "black homeland faction": hurry up and send these black people to where they should go, no matter how much it costs, no matter where they are.

In 1816, the "American Colonization Society" was established. In January 1820, the Colonization Society funded the transportation of the first batch of 88 free blacks to Liberia, then known as the Grain Coast. After more than 20 years of immigration, in 1847 In 2001, the "independent black homeland" was officially proclaimed, and the country's name was designated as "Liberia", which is the "country of freedom".

From 1820 to 1867, there were only more than 13,000 free blacks from the United States to Liberia in 47 years, accounting for only 2.6% of the total number of blacks in the United States and 2.5% of the total population of Liberia. The American Colonization Society hopes to use This idea of ??isolating black and white people is a complete failure.

Not only that, the "Free State" neither brought real freedom and happiness to the free black slaves in the United States, but also artificially created sharp conflicts between them and the indigenous blacks. This contradiction has been troubled for more than 100 years. In Liberia, descendants of black immigrants from the United States stubbornly held power and adopted a series of discriminatory and unequal policies against indigenous blacks, which triggered a series of subsequent violent conflicts.
