"A Treatise on Negro Colonization" by Samuel Simpson presents a detailed plan for colonizing all African Americans in the United States on foreign territory. This work offers a snapshot into the complex and often troubling perspectives on race and society during the 19th century. Simpson’s treatise reflects the prevailing attitudes and proposed solutions related to the presence of a large population of formerly enslaved people in America. It serves as a valuable historical document for understanding the debates and policies surrounding race, colonization, and the future of African Americans in the aftermath of slavery.
This edition makes Simpson’s plan accessible to contemporary readers interested in the history of race relations and colonization efforts in the United States.
