Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The attempt to make emancipation of slaves more attractive to whites in the early nineteenth century was linked to the idea of sending freed slaves back to Africa. This movement, known as colonization, was supported by some white abolitionists who believed that slavery was morally wrong but also believed that freed slaves could not coexist with whites in the United States. They hoped that by sending freed slaves to Africa, they could establish a new colony where they could govern themselves and live independently. This idea was supported by the formation of organizations such as the American Colonization Society in 1816.
