Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The History of Liberia by J.H.T. McPherson is a comprehensive account of the West African nation from its establishment as a colony for freed slaves in the 19th century to the present day. The book covers the political, social, and economic developments of Liberia, including the challenges and successes of its early years, the impact of the African-American settlers on the indigenous population, the country's struggle for independence, and its subsequent history as a republic. McPherson also examines Liberia's role in regional and international affairs, including its involvement in conflicts such as the civil war that ravaged the country in the 1990s. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Liberia, African politics, and the impact of colonialism on the continent.In 1831, the Maryland State Colonization Society was formed. Active interest in the movement had long been felt in the State, and it scarcely needed the eloquence of Robert Finley, son of the old champion of colonization, who visited Baltimore in that year, to awaken enthusiasm. The Society had hardly been formed when ample funds were provided in an unexpected way. In August, 1831, a tragic Negro uprising took place in Virginia, in which some sixty-five white men, women and children were murdered.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
