Actually, the group that "founded" Monrovia and modern Liberia after the Civil War are called "Americo-Liberians"; they are the descendants of the freed American slaves. There are at least 5 other people groups there(the origional peoples) and they all fight with each other. Pelle, Mande, Gio, others.
