About This Item
Washington City: M'Gill & Witherow, 1874. Softcover. Good. Pamphlet (5 3/4" x 9 1/4"), stitched as issued. 8pp. Original printed paper wrappers. The Massachusetts Colonization Society was originally formed to address the slavery issue by encouraging emancipation and then colonization of freed slaves outside the United States. As part of a national movement with the American Society for Colonizing the Free People of Color, the colony of Liberia was formed in 1822 and then became an independent state in 1847. Despite the overwhelming opposition of most African-Americans and the end of slavery of in the US, the Society continued to press its case. In this particular report from 1874, the managers of the Society struggle to remain relevant. Worldcat locates only 1 copy (in microfiche form) in US libraries. Wrappers lightly soiled with a corner crease on the front wrapper and few tiny chips at the edges.
