Well,President Lincoln purchased land in Africa for the ex slaves, but they didn’t seem to want to go back to Africa. For that matter my family did its part in helping the former slaves. He brought a former slave family home with him and got a job for them and a house for his family.

Can you give me a reference for that? Seriously interested. I know Lincoln was interested in resettlement of American blacks in Liberia, Panama and Isle a Vache in Haiti never heard of any land purchase.

Monroe, 2banana. The country name is Liberia and the capital is Monrovia.

As Trump would say a Shi$hole of the first water.

For the time, significant amounts of effort were made to give it a good start. It quickly devolved into a 19th Century version of South Chicago.
