What is the historical connection between Liberia and the United States?
Liberia was founded in 1822 by the American Colonization Society as a settlement for freed African American slaves and free-born Black Americans who wished to emigrate to Africa. The country declared independence in 1847 making it Africa’s first republic. Its political system was modeled on the United States Constitution and its flag is similar to the Stars and Stripes with a single star. Many Liberian surnames including Tubman, Johnson, and Roberts reflect American origins. The capital Monrovia is named after US President James Monroe. This unique African-American historical connection makes Liberia particularly significant for African American visitors from DFW and across the US.
