520    "Between 1820 and 1913, thousands of black people left the
       United States to start new lives in Liberia, Africa, in 
       what was at the time the largest out-migration in US 
       history. When Tolbert Major, a Kentucky slave and single 
       father, was offered his own chance for freedom, he 
       accepted. He, several family members, and almost seventy 
       other people boarded the Luna on July 5, 1836. After they 
       arrived in Liberia, Tolbert penned a letter to his former 
       owner, Ben Major: "Dear Sir, We have all landed on the 
       shores of Africa and got into our houses. ... None of us 
       have been taken with the fever yet." Drawing on extensive 
       research and fifteen years' worth of surviving letters, 
       author Susan E. Lindsey illuminates the trials and 
       triumphs of building a new life in Liberia, where settlers
       were free, but struggled to acclimate in an unfamiliar 
       land, coexist with indigenous groups, and overcome disease
       and other dangers. Liberty Brought Us Here: The True Story
       of American Slaves Who Migrated to Liberia explores the 
       motives and attitudes of colonization supporters and those
       who lived in the colony, offering perspectives beyond the 
       standard narrative that colonization was solely about 
       racism or forced exile"--|cProvided by publisher
