what nation was founded as a result of the acs?
liberia
in the years before monroe took office, a movement supporting the colonization of africa by free blacks became increasingly popular. congressman charles f. mercer of virginia and reverend robert finley of new jersey established the american colonization society (acs) to further the goal of african colonization. most adherents of the society supported colonization as a way to provide for the gradual emancipation of slaves and diversify the southern economy, but the acs also appealed to pro-slavery southerners whose primarily goal was the removal of free blacks from the country. the acs attracted several prominent supporters, including madison, associate justice bushrod washington, and henry clay. in 1819, the monroe administration agreed to provide some funding to the acs, and, much like the national bank, the society operated as a public-private partnership. the u.s. navy helped the acs establish a colony in west africa, which would be adjacent to sierra leone, another colony that had been established for free blacks. the new colony was named liberia, and liberia's capital took the name of monrovia in honor of president monroe. by the 1860s, over ten thousand african americans had migrated to liberia. though initially intended to be a permanent u.s. colony, liberia would declare independence in 1847.
