Abe Lincoln wanted to return the slaves to Africa and had ships ready to take them back. Many chose to go, but he was concerned that many of them had either never lived in africa our had been away for so long that they would be unable to survive. He therefore created a colony in africa (now a country) called Liberia to return them to. Many of the newly freed slaves chose instead to remain in the United States.
