No, Paul Cuffe was not opposed to the resettlement Blacks in Africa. Rather, Cuffe personally funded & sailed those wishing to return to Africa. Cuffe had ties with the African Colonization Society (ACS). These trips, financed & captained by Cuffe from 1815-1816, were to resettle the African American expatriates to the British colony of Sierra Leone. These resettlements were in part a building block for the American colony of Sierra Leone. Ultimately, while not choosing to leave America himself, Paul Cuffe believed that black Americans had a better chance to prosper and build a racial identity in Africa since America still had - and would have for well over another century and a half, discriminatory laws.
