The
Liberian Letters
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.
