Lot of 2 pieces, Includes: A Discourse Preached in the Center Church, in New Haven, August 27, 1828, at the funeral of Jehudi Ashmun, Esq. Colonial Agent of the American Colony of Liberia by Leonard Bacon, 35 pages long with black text, and once was bound by string, printed by Hezekiah Howe in 1828, Fine-VF condition with some staining and damage to binding; and an 1861, Monrovia (Liberia), Treasury Department Second Exchange document, S/N 28, to William McLain, Financial Secretary of the American Colonization Society, for $100, Black text on blue paper, VF to XF condition. Signed by Stephen A Benson, the Second President of Liberia and this document is issued in 1861, the year before the U.S. recognized Liberia as a country. Stephen Allen Benson served as the 2nd President of Liberia from 1856 to 1864. Prior to that, he served as the 3rd Vice President of Liberia from 1854 to 1856 under President Joseph Jenkins Roberts. Although born in the United States, Benson was the first president to have lived in Liberia since childhood, he and his family having arrived with the first groups of settlers in 1822. Jehudi Ashmun (April 21, 1794 - August 25, 1828) was an American religious leader and social reformer from New England who became involved in the American Colonization Society. It founded the colony of Liberia inWest Africa as a place to resettle free people of color from the United States. Ashmun emigrated to Monrovia, Liberia in 1822, where he served as the United States government’s agent (de facto governor) for two different terms. American Colonization Society (ACS), originally known as the Society for the Colonization of Free People of Color of America, was founded in 1816 by Robert Finley to encourage and support the migration of free African Americans to the continent of Africa. The African-American community and abolitionist movement overwhelmingly opposed the project. In most cases, African Americans’ families had lived in the United States for generations, and their prevailing sentiment was that they were no more African than white Americans were European. Contrary to stated claims that emigration was voluntary, many African Americans, both free and enslaved, were pressured into emigrating. Indeed, enslavers sometimes manumitted their slaves on condition that the freedmen leave the country immediately. Fascinating pair of items related to a controversial society in American history.
