4 Letters from Liberia to Kentucky
2 women and 4 children, former slaves of M.O.T.R. Wickliffe, are sent in 1833 from Lexington KY to Africa
The Electronic Text Center’s Liberian Letters consists of two collections of letters written by former slaves from Virginia who settled in Liberia: Samson Ceasar’s letters to David S. Haselden and Henry F. Westfall, 1834-1835 and Letters from the former slaves of Terrell, 1857-1866. These former slaves travelled to Liberia with the assistance of the American Colonization Society, an organization formed in 1817 to help free blacks and emancipated slaves establish a new life in the recently-founded Liberia.
