The author states that the Roanoke colony was abandoned and no more English settlers arrived until 1607 when the Jamestown colony was established. Why might have English settlers waited a number of years to return to the colony? 8.
Colonizationists opposed the institution of slavery, but did not believe in the possibility of peaceful coexistence between races was possible post-emancipation. Instead, they proposed creating a country (Liberia) in Africa settled by former slaves.
The most famous utopian community to emerge from people wanting to distance themselves from the industrialization of the new market economy were the Shakers.
the American Colonization SocietyIn 1820, the first formerly enslaved people arrived at the British colony of Sierra Leone from the United States, and in 1821 the American Colonization Society founded the colony of Liberia south of Sierra Leone as a homeland for formerly enslaved people outside British jurisdiction.
Jehudi AshmunThe first American freed slaves, led by members of the society, landed in 1822 on Providence Island at the mouth of the Mesurado River. They were followed shortly by Jehudi Ashmun, a white American, who became the real founder of Liberia.
