The American Colonization Society and the Creation of the Liberian State: A Historical Perspective, 1822-1900

By Amos Jones Beyan

This study traces the historical roots of Liberia's political, economic, and social instituions. The author aims to apply a new historical perspective to the nation's history, and by identifying some of its critical problems, provide an empirical guideline for the present and future generations of Liberia. The text proposes that Liberia's institutions, though shaped by other factors as well, were largely extensions of the institutional values inherent in the American Colonization Society (ACS).
