Answer: The society's program focused on purchasing and freeing slaves, paying their passage (and that of free blacks) to the west coast of Africa, and assisting them after their arrival there.
Explanation:
In 1821, after a failed colonizing attempt the previous year and protracted negotiations with local chiefs, the society acquired the Cape Mesurado area, subsequently the site of Monrovia, Liberia. Some saw colonization as a humanitarian effort and a means of ending slavery, but many antislavery advocates came to oppose the society, believing that its true intent was to drain off the best of the free black population and preserve the institution of slavery.
The answer was False.
It was not the loss of slaves but the loss of their source of economy
and riches when the Union under the command of General William T. Sherman
marched into the South and destroyed every factory, building and farm
effectively crippling the South’s capability to produce weapons and supplies
for its troops.
