The black abolitionist who advocated for the return of freed slaves to Africa was Paul Cuffe. He was a prominent businessman and philanthropist in the early 19th century who believed in the idea of black nationalism and supported the colonization movement, which aimed to resettle African Americans in Africa. Cuffe's efforts included organizing voyages to Liberia, where he helped establish a settlement for freed African Americans. His vision laid the groundwork for later movements advocating for black identity and autonomy.
The Back to Africa movement was spearheaded by the American Colonization Society, started by Charles Fenton Mercer. The idea was to encourage freed Africans to return to their ancestral country, there by lessening the population of blacks in America.

Liberia
to make a homeland for freed slaves in Africa
Liberia was settled by freed American slaves in the early 19th century. It was founded as a colony by the American Colonization Society as a place for freed African-Americans to return to Africa.
After the abolition of slavery, many newly freed slaves wanted to return to Africa. As they had no way of knowing how to get back to exactly from whence they came, the nation of Liberia was established.
The first settlement in Africa for freed slaves was Freetown in Sierra Leone. It was established in 1787 as a resettlement for freed slaves from Britain and the Americas.
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.
Quakers supported the settlement of freed slaves in Africa because they believed it would result in a better life for freemen.
After the total abolition of slavery, a movement started to allow the return to Africa of recently freed slaves. To facilitate this, the country of Liberia was founded.
