| Franklin Repository, "The Bark James W. Page," September 14, 1859 Summary
Republicans wanted to believe that colonization to Liberia was a viable solution to problem of slavery, a solution that would
avoid the presence of blacks in the North.
EXCERPT:
"The liberated Africans from the slaver Echo are doing well in Monrovia. Many are distributed among private families, and
learn fast the habits and customs of civilized life. The intelligent colored people that have emigrated from the United States
to Liberia speak in the highest terms of the latter country."
Full-text web version of newspaper  Points of Analysis to this Data:
 "Franklin County's papers spent more ink--almost all of it negative--on its nearly two thousand free blacks than Augusta did
on its five thousand enslaved people."
