Letters On The Colonization Society

""Letters on the Colonization Society: With a View of Its Probable Results"" is a book written by Mathew Carey in 1832. The book is a collection of letters that Carey wrote to various individuals and organizations in response to the American Colonization Society's efforts to establish a colony for free African Americans in Liberia. In these letters, Carey expresses his opposition to the Colonization Society's goals, arguing that the plan would be both impractical and unjust. He contends that the Society's efforts would not solve the problem of slavery in the United States, and would instead lead to the forced removal of free African Americans from their homes and families. Carey also argues that the Society's plan would be detrimental to the economic interests of the United States, as it would remove a significant portion of the country's labor force. He further asserts that the plan would be harmful to the African continent, as it would lead to the exploitation of its resources and people.Overall, ""Letters on the Colonization Society"" provides a critical perspective on the American Colonization Society's efforts to establish a colony in Liberia, and raises important questions about the ethics of colonization and the treatment of African Americans in the United States.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
