Thoughts On African Colonization: Or An Impartial Exhibition Of The Doctrines, Principles, And Purposes Of The American Colonization Society (1832)

Thoughts On African Colonization: Or An Impartial Exhibition Of The Doctrines, Principles, And Purposes Of The American Colonization Society is a book written by William Lloyd Garrison and published in 1832. The book is a critical examination of the American Colonization Society, which was founded in 1816 with the aim of transporting free African Americans to the continent of Africa and establishing a colony there. Garrison, who was a prominent abolitionist and advocate for the immediate emancipation of enslaved people, argues that the society's goals were misguided and ultimately harmful to both African Americans and Africans. He critiques the society's belief in the inferiority of African Americans and their desire to remove them from American society rather than working towards their full integration and equality. The book is a significant work in the history of anti-slavery and abolitionist literature, and provides valuable insight into the debates surrounding African colonization in the early 19th century.Together With The Resolutions, Addresses, And Remonstrances Of The Free People Of Color.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
