| adam_text | Between
1820
and
1861
more than
12,000
American blacks made the long voyage to
Liberia. Many were members of families that
had been brought to America in the 1600s. In
the jungles of West Africa these new settlers
battled virulent tropical diseases, marauding
wild beasts, and fierce native tribesmen;
with only basic hand tools (draft animals
could hardly survive the climate) they faced
the challenge of carving out fields from one
of the world s densest forests.
To former masters and to their own peo¬
ple the new
Liberiane
wrote letters about
physical deprivations, often asking for help;
they also reported proudly on the political
progress of their adopted country, which be¬
came a republic in
1847.
Despite the discour¬
agement and disappointment reflected in
many of the letters, the settlers demonstrated
a remarkable capacity to overcome the hos¬
tility of nature and to endure with courage
and dignity.
Bell I. Wiley has collected and annotated
273
letters written from Liberia by former
slaves
—
all that have so far come to light, ex¬
cluding a portion of those written to Amer¬
ican Colonization Society officials. To read
the letters is to reach a new understanding of
the meaning of slavery and of freedom; one
senses the strength of the black family that
distance did not splinter; one wonders at the
religious faith that endured through unimag-
ined hardships and disasters.
A fascinating account of the people who
went to Liberia in the years prior to the Civil
War
. . .
and of the success and tragic fail¬
ure of their efforts to adjust to a strange Afri¬
can world. A valuable reference for any stu¬
dent or scholar of antebellum America
—
Stanley M. Elkins.
