Both Abraham Lincoln and his mentor, Henry Clay supported the American Colonization Society. The goal of the Society was to transport freed slaves to the African nation of Liberia. The main problem the Society faced was that the money to transport any large number of freed slaves would be staggering. Lincoln believed the Society was one method to help erase slavery from the United States. In October of 1854, Lincoln stated that as noble as the goals of the Society were, the execution of the plans were impossible.
