4 thoughts on “Presidents of Liberia: Stephen Allen Benson”
imagine going back to the 'motherland' and getting attacked and murdered. this was a sad episode, they should have stayed in Maryland. also it seems as if Benson got Stockholm syndrome. also to say this was during the illegal slave trade is kinda un true, slavery was never outlawed in africa so technically it wasn't during the illegal slave trade.
I don't think liberia was buck broken, their slave trading just caught up with them . Liberians had self determination(everyone does) it's just that their ancestors chose destruction (slave trading) instead of building. And if the native africans had a much agency as kau says the had full responsibility of the slave trade falls squarely on their shoulders. NOT the Europeans. you can't have it both ways.
Iām in love with Ms. Mau. As a Liberian that was born in the US, lived in Liberia for some years and have lived 80% of my life thus far in the US lām appalled by politicians running to the US to complain about other Liberians. Liberian problems should be settled in house and if not why the heck is Liberia considered a country?
