A strange drunken thought

If only Thermo were still around!

I was just reading some thread in Chat when it struck me that they could be combined. Could the USA somehow dump some of its freed slave population in the Palestine region rather than Liberia? Obviously, this means bad things for the Ottomans much earlier than IOTL.

Disclaimers: No attack on the Ottomans, the Americans, freed slaves, Liberia, Jews, Palestinians, the Royal Navy, the French, the Swiss, the pre-Germans, the Aborigines, the Chinese or Little Jimmy Osmond is intended in the above post. ;)
 
Why? The whole point of Liberia was the "back-to-Africa" mindset of many abolitionists. Palestine isn't exact in Africa..

If it's for religious reasons (the "promised land"), then I doubt a state like Liberia being set up. More likely, former slaves emigrating to Palestine would set up their own little community within the existing state, like the Armenian Quarter...
