Answer:

Liberia

Step-by-step explanation:

Liberia is a country founded by citizens of the United States as a colony for former African slaves. At the beginning of the 19th century, the United States of America projected several plans to establish a colony in Africa for liberated African-American slaves. Between 1821 and 1847, through a combination of purchase and conquest, the American "Societies" developed the colony known as Liberia, which in 1847 was declared an independent nation. Already since the time of the American Revolution, at the end of the 18th century, there were many members of the American society who did not tolerate the idea that African Americans could live in “their” society as free individuals, well because they considered blacks physically and mentally inferior to whites or because they considered that racism and social polarization were insurmountable obstacles to achieving a harmonious integration of different races, as well as other reasons. As an acceptable solution both for these “concerned” whites and for those who proposed an immediate abolition of slavery throughout the country, it was proposed to transfer the liberated blacks to a new nation in Africa.
