Liberia’s history is unique due to the country’s relationship with the U.S. Did you know that it is one of only two countries (Ethiopia being the other country) , that was never part of the European Scramble for Africa. What is the European Scramble for Africa you ask? Well it was a time when the rapid colonization of the African continent was probably being taken by European powers. Liberia is really better then most countries because of the the freed American slaves. This came to justice by not many things along with the help of a private organization called the American Colonization Society (This was established in 1816 by Robert Finley as an attempt to satisfy two groups in America (One group being
philanthropists, clergy and abolitionist who wanted to free African slaves. Other group being the owners of slaves who feared free people of color and wanted to expel them from America) whom founded and colonized the country from 1821-1822. It was believed the freed slaves would have greater equality and freedom here in Liberia. As a child, children and adults now used to say funny little riddles and other things to make each other smile in a time of sadness or need like. The poem toes in my nose "Toes In My Nose.I bet them I could do it. My friends all said, "No way." And now my toes are in my nose, so they will have to pay. They each owe me a dollar-- Of that there is no doubt. There's just one little problem, I cannot get them out". Liberia was founded in the year of 1821, since now it's the year of 2014, Liberia is an age of 193. A really up country but still really beautiful. Also to be very awesome, this African country is the only African country that has been founded by the United States, that makes me believe it's really special. In 2013 the former Liberian president, Charles Taylor did his final duty in the Liberian Government and went into exile. But decades before that happened, Liberia went into a civil war, worst and most horrific in the 20th century.
