Very good. Job Roberts Tyson a Philadelphia-born teacher lawyer and writer served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1855 to 1857 as a Whig representative from Pennsylvania and was a prominent proponent of the Colonization movement which encouraged African-Americans to return to the homelands of their African ancestors. The present pamphlet is the publication of Tyson's speech delivered to the Young Men's Colonization Society of Pennsylvania on Oct. 24 1834. Beginning with a history of the abolitionist movement in Pennsylvania Tyson cites the development of Liberia as exemplifying the movement's ideology. In 1821 private societies began to fund and organize colonies on the coast of West Africa for free blacks from the United States and Liberia became a common destination for emigrating African- Americans. In praise of these organized "repatriation" plans Tyson wrote: "For the accomplishment of these great purposes an extensive region of sea-coast has been selected.Being intended for the abode of freemen this extensive domain bears the appropriate title Liberia."
