Paper Abstract: Discusses the back to Africa movement through a three way correspondence of letters between Thomas Jefferson, Paul Cuffe, and Robert Finley. Paper Introduction: The Back to Africa MovementRobert Finley to Thomas Jefferson It is with interest that I read your statement regarding yourconviction that there is no way for Africans to live in society in theUnited States as free people While I disagree with this and believe thatfreedom should not be a gift given to a small number of Americans I doagree with your solution to what is indeed a troubling problem FreeingAmerican slaves and deporting them peacefully to Africa would be a morallycorrect project Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below. However, the text is somewhat scrambled. We want to give you as much information as we possibly can about our papers and essays, but we cannot give them away for free. In the text below you will find that while disordered, many of the phrases are essentially intact. From this text you will be able to get a solid sense of the writing style, the concepts addressed, and the sources used in the research paper. Available at http://en .wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson. Accessed online, May 5, 2 8.Thomas Jefferson. (2 8). I must also questionwhy in light of your belief that slavery is an immoral institution, youhave thus far not freed your own slaves (Paul Cuffe, 2 8).Thomas Jefferson to Paul Cuffe: I find myself in a difficult position. This is something that causes me greatmental anguish as I am firmly convinced that the best solution to theproblem of slavery is to both free the slaves and to return them to Africa(Thomas Jefferson, 2 8).Robert Finley to Paul Cuffe: I thank you for your support for our colonization effort. I am sadto report that we have encountered many barriers, barriers you yourselfhave experienced in your efforts in Sierra Leone (Paul Cuffe, 2 8). Wikipedia. Accessed online, May 5, 2 8. Imust tell you, however, that I have encountered among both Americans andthe British in Sierra Leone great resistance to such a proposal. Despite resistanceto our efforts former slaves to Africa, we will press ahead. FreeingAmerican slaves and deporting them peacefully to Africa would be a morallycorrect project and one which might help to prevent the sectional conflictthat is likely to erupt over the issue of slavery. Accessed online, May 5, 2 8.Robert Finley. Imust take exception with your statement that blacks are for the most partinferior to whites, however (Thomas Jefferson, 2 8). The Back to Africa MovementRobert Finley to Thomas Jefferson: It is with interest that I read your statement regarding yourconviction that there is no way for Africans to live in society in theUnited States as free people. Available at http://en .wikipeida.org/wiki/Paul_Cuffe. Thecolonial powers in Africa are not fully receptive to the notion of a returnof this sort either. Wikipedia. However, I would caution you thatyour views will fall on ears that do not wish to hear them - much as my ownviews on this issue antagonized my fellow Virginians when I spoke out yearsago in the House of Burgesses (Thomas Jefferson, 2 8).Paul Cuffe to Robert Finley: Having experienced life as an African man in the United States andhaving traveled to Sierra Leone in hopes of returning with other Africansliving in the United States to that country, I can only applaud yourefforts to bring about a reverse colonization of Africa by freed slaves. (2 8). ReferencesPaul Cuffe. They fear that American blacks will seek power andcontrol in Africa and this will disrupt colonial administration as well asindigenous political systems. Atthe same time, it is not within my power to free those men, women, andchildren who work on my land. I think Jefferson is a good man with good intentions, but Ibelieve that he is wrong in failing to free his slaves. I would appreciatehearing your views on the National Colonization Society of America and ourplan to return many Africans to Liberia (Robert Finley, 2 8; ThomasJefferson, 2 8).Thomas Jefferson to Robert Finley: I have received your letter and reviewed the materials on theNational Colonization Society of America. I agree with your purposes andfeel that freeing the slaves and returning them to Africa is a morallysound project (Thomas Jefferson, 2 8). Iagree that it is tragic that Mr. Jefferson cannot become an example of aslave owner who not only frees his slaves, but also helps them return toAfrica. Africans should be given thechance to return to their homeland (Robert Finley, 2 8). Nevertheless, I fully endorse your projectand offer you my full support (Paul Cuffe, 2 8).Paul Cuffe to Thomas Jefferson: I am an admirer of yours, Mr. Jefferson, and I am particularlypleased that you give your support to the idea of returning former slavesto Africa so that they might reconnect with their homelands and culture. I am convinced that slaveryis both immoral and likely to cause great conflict in this country. (2 8). There is apotential in Liberia for achieving this goal. Wikipedia. Available at http://en .wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Finley. Americansare reluctant to give up control over their slaves which they perceive asvaluable property that is indispensable to their economic well-being. While I disagree with this and believe thatfreedom should not be a gift given to a small number of Americans, I doagree with your solution to what is indeed a troubling problem.
