Let's say a hypothetical scenario where for whatever reason Liberia tries to a military conquest for Sierra Leone during the American Civil War (like 1963) but it wraps up two years after the Civil War ending with British annexing Liberia. With Liberians not wanting to live under the British a...

When discussing Liberia Timelines a few common questions come up: - The climate of the region - Where can ex-slaves go that is not oppressively humid and full of tropical diseases? The OTL spot chosen for Liberia is pretty wet even for West Africa - Existing peoples and polities - Where can...

Charles Taylor was among the most prominent and powerful warlords during the first Liberian civil war, if not the most powerful one. But this war never ended in a military victory for any belligerent. Instead, UN backed negotiations resulted in a peace agreement with the promise of returning to...

On July 26th, 1847, Liberia declared independence from the United States of America and was recognized by the US in 1862. Since then, Liberia has had a close relationship with America and relies on it economically. But what if, instead of declaring independence, Liberia became an official US...

Would it have been plausible/beneficial if Liberia, seeing the growing racial tensions of the United States in the 1960s, launched a campaign to invite uneasy African Americans to migrate to there, trying to "poach" Black professionals and skilled workers? "Come to Liberia - your church won't...

I asked here earlier about the Cozumel proposal in the US as an effort by Abraham Lincoln to settle freed slaves after the Civil War. As I sort of researched this topic, I stumbled upon various resettlement and colonization projects for African-Americans proposed by the United States and became...

I only know of another case similar to Japan, with Paraguay prior to the War. I will not count Ethiopia or Thailand, maybe Liberia.

I do not know much about Liberian History, but I am aware that the modern state of Liberia was established by the American Colonization Society. Later on, these Amerio-Liberians later declared independence and created their own Consitution. My question is what would have happened if, instead...

https://minds.wisconsin.edu/bitstream/handle/1793/34895/1342562.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y This study is one of many that underscores the point that Liberian settlers experienced a devastating death rate due to tropical diseases. The mortality rate was extremely high, and made it so that the...

What were some other places besides the Pepper Coast that were considered to be the potential founding spot of Liberia to put emancipated slaves following the ACW? Not just Liberia, really any proposal to relocate former slaves by any country can be discussed here.

Liberia is quite the success story, isn't it? It's one of the most stable, wealthy and free nations in sub-Saharan Africa today. Really amazing what the Liberians managed to accomplish. As you've probably guessed by the title, your challenge is to alter this success story so things go...

Your challenge is simple: with any POD after the establishment of Liberia in 1847, make it considerably more successful than it was IOTL.

Jeff Pearce, in his book (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1510718656/) about the Second Italo-Ethopian War wrote: This was not true in the Ethiopian war. Fewer than 200 volunteers would be able to make it to Ethiopia in OTL. But… what if there was a timeline in which this was not true...

Foreword: I read and post a lot here, and you may know me from my previous small-time project “The Left and Right Eyes of India”. That, for now, has been ended, as I focus on this, an upcoming idea I had. This TL will be slow, as it is particularly busy in my life at the moment; and there may...

The organization was funding a back to Africa movement focused on Liberia sending representatives to inspect and lease land for those interested in returning to Africa. Firestone ended up coming in and making a far sweeter deal on the proposed land quashing the entire endeavor. The question is...

So, I just got back from a vacation to Liberia the other day, and please don't assume this post is somehow racist or anything because I absolutely loved it there, but it just got me thinking... It was surprisingly egalitarian and non-racist for the U.S. government of the time to provide as much...

Bit of a bizarre scenario I admit, but what if instead of a state of Liberia created in the "Indian Territory", the American Colonization Society had instead supported the creation of an independent Republic of Liberia in Africa? Where would the country be established, by the way? Perhaps next...

So originally at the congress of Berlin when the Congo came up in order to prevent wars between European powers there were two choices for the territory The Congo had been a contention point between the powers and was decided to be given to a power uninterested in Europe and the like like the...

What if when the American Colonization Society sends freed slaves to Africa and the Kingdom of Koya unites with the tribes in the area and wipes out the colony and this leads to the ACS changing from being back to Africa to sending the Freed Slaves in 1825 somewhere out West. Where in the West...

So let’s say that during and before 1821: 1). The ACS purchases Sierra Leone from Britian, and annexes modern-day Guinea, Guinea-Basseu, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Gambia which all get incorporated into Liberia. 2). A much larger number of black freedman from North America, the Caribbean, and...
