Question

What was a major goal of the American Colonization Society (ACS)?

Answer 1

Answer 2

The (ACS), otherwise called the American Society for colonizing the people free from color in America, rose in 1816 as a national association devoted to advancing the manumission of the enslaved and the settlement of free blacks in West Africa, particularly in the province of Liberia.

American Colonization Society individuals were overwhelmingly white and at first included abolitionists just as slave proprietors, every one of whom largely concurred with the overall perspective on the time that free blacks could not be coordinated into white America.
