The American Colonization Society
Cobblestone American History Magazine for Kids|September 2023
In 1821, President James Monroe signed into law the controversial Missouri Compromise. 
- Catherine Grace Jones
The American Colonization Society

That act allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state. It also prevented the creation of any other slaveholding states north of latitude 36 degrees 30 minutes. That line corresponds to Missouri's southern border. Monroe knew that the law would not solve the problem of slavery. But he realized that compromise was necessary until a more permanent solution could be found.

Disagreements between the North and the South over the issue of slavery were long-standing. During the early days of the slavery debate, one proposal involved sending Black people back to Africa. In 1815, Paul Cuffe, a successful Black merchant, hoped to help establish a "prosperous colony in Africa." He transported 38 African Americans to Sierra Leone, Africa, at his own expense.

On December 28, 1816, the American Colonization Society (ACS) was organized for the purpose of establishing a colony for freed people in Africa. Many prominent slaveholding Americans joined the ACS, including Henry Clay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe.
