Greetings marstegreg:

It was the Society of Friends, better known as the Quakers, who formed the ACS. Freed slaves were given a choice. Accept passage for resettlement in Liberia, or remain in this land of opportunity.

So , if they were given a choice and chose to stay why are reparations in order?
