Publisher's Synopsis
African Colonization, Proceedings, On The Formation Of The New York State Colonization Society is a historical document that provides insight into the early efforts of the New York State Colonization Society to establish a colony in Africa for free people of color. The book contains the proceedings of the society's formation in 1829, including speeches by prominent members and discussions about the logistics of establishing a colony. The society aimed to provide an opportunity for free people of color to escape the discrimination and oppression they faced in the United States and to establish a new home in Africa. The book also includes letters from individuals interested in the society's mission and reports on the progress of the society's efforts. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of African colonization and the efforts of early abolitionists to promote freedom and equality for all people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
