Ever wondered why the Liberian, Thomas Duncan, had an American name? Liberia was established by citizens of the United States as a colony for former African American slaves and their free black descendants. It is one of only two sovereign states in the world that were started by citizens of a political power as a colony for former slaves of the same political power: Sierra Leone was begun as a colony for resettlement of Black Loyalists and poor blacks from England for the same purpose by Britain. https://history.state.gov/milestones/1830-1860/liberia
