Can you tell us the right story? Thanks. I have also read that it was founded by returned slaves from America.

Some American whites who, as I understand it, did not think that having free blacks in the country would work, formed a society to assist the settlement of free black Americans in Liberia. They raised money for transportation and assistance in getting started. There is some interesting information on some FR threads, and if I were a clever FReeper, I would find them for you.
