The African nation that was created as a colony for freed African Americans is Liberia. Established in the early 19th century, it was founded by the American Colonization Society (ACS) as a settlement for freed slaves from the United States. The idea was to provide a place for them to live independently, away from American society, which was often hostile to freed African Americans. The capital city, Monrovia, was named after U.S. President James Monroe, who was an advocate for colonization. Liberia declared its independence in 1847, making it one of the first independent republics in Africa.
