On July 26, 1847, the Liberian Declaration of Independence was adopted and signed.Liberia... which ironically... translates literally as... "the free land."
In it, Liberians charged their mother country, the United States, with injustices that made it necessary for them to leave and make new lives for themselves in Africa.
They called upon the international community to recognize the independence and sovereignty of Liberia.
Freedom is a two-faced bitch
Yet another "be careful what you wish for" moment...
