I wouldn't say that this trope is as popular as others, but I do see it pop up every so often. I'm never quite sure of why people use it as an alternate American Liberia other than "it has a somewhat better climate then OTL Liberia". Are there other reasons for why this is the case?

Also, did they actually consider Namibia as a possible location to send freed slaves back then? and if so, why, and why did they not go with it?
