There was only one country that was never colonized: Ethiopia. Every other colony in Africa (including Liberia) was colonized at one point or another. As a result, there is no name given to this collection of one country.
One thing that started the land grab was the Berlin Conference in 1884, which was basically European powers arguing over who could take what, so as not to war among themselves. African governments were not consulted. Africa was rich in lands and resources, and considered ripe for colonization.

To gain public acceptance, the suppression of slavery was often given as the reason for occupation.
