And honestly didn’t care what black people wanted which is why black people did not support a back to Africa because white elites were encouraging them. In an OTL with more funding you'd have even greater vocal disapproval/opposition. “Why find all this money to take us to a land we never knew...

I really suggest you look more into the conversations and open debates because it fell in deaf ears for a reason. Even most of the Samana Americans of D.R. Reparated back to the US. Black Americans despite being told they were not Americans *knew they had every right to it* and the stayed to...

Most black Americans had no cultural or political desire to be in Africa because they knew that a back to Africa movement was made due to white sentiments that they could never truly be “real” Americans. The only way it would prevail was if the US had higher populations of recently Enslaved...

Lake chad was part of the Sahelian agricultural complex along with the the Niger valley and Senegal. Although a third rice domestication zone is viable at lake chad as wild rice was gathered there into the 1970s all while domesticated African rice was also being grown.

The Niger River Valley is recognized domestication center. I’d argue with the information that we have the desiccation that occurred after the Neolithic Subpluvial is the basis of a multitude of pan-sahelian domestication events.

Legally speaking all those European groups were in fact white. The naturalization act of 1790 enshrined only white European immigrants legal access to citizenship. Its revisionist to conflate the post Civil War Industralist, nativist movements seeing Europeans as invader to “non-white people”...

At this point I just respond in case anyone else happens these threads. The misinformation has got to stop, so few people bother actually putting in real work on Africa in this board.

No. 1. The majority of Americos were not mixed race, their leadership was made up of mixed race people who benefitted from white fathers that gave them skills, literacy or formal educations 2. It was not just matter of “acclimatization”: Yellow Fever was a scourge along the south eastern United...

Incorporate indigenous, African and say Portuguese influenced ATL creole that blends with an early colonial English dialect forming an American equivalent of the “Kitchen Dutch” or “Hottentot Dutch”/Cape Dutch ancestral languages that formed Afrikaans. A post WWI population dreary of...

Indian influence extended to Sofala OTL — Muhammad al-Idrisi Indian traders sold iron ore to crafters in India, the Laccadives and Maldives but also traded copper and gold found inland. If they can undercut or influence Yemen to agreater degree it could butterfly away pre and post Islamic...

I'd look into the Esmeraldas Zambos, Miskitu Zambu and the Garifuna. From the looks of it they would have dominated local communities.

It happened with sweet potato this is plausible

Good luck with an indigenous led plantation system that won’t end up with US snatching that land sooner. sugarcane production was the very basis of Hawaiian illegal censure. No nation will challenge the US land grab and there will be less of a need to incorporate the royal elite because the...

It didn't happen otl because Liberia exist to supply the US and Europe with guess what? Plantation agriculture derived crops. The United States was going to participate in Africa in some facet, they did not need to participate in the Scramble because they preemptively struck. The United...

I wouldn't be so sure. Given the slow race to colonization I think a no Liberia scenario would still lead to an American territory. With the decline of whaling and the rise of the Oil Palm European focus on the West African coast intensified. Some piece of the West African coastline is going to...
