Mission to England: In Behalf of the American Colonization Society is a book written by Ralph Randolph Gurley in 1841. The book provides a detailed account of Gurley's mission to England on behalf of the American Colonization Society. The American Colonization Society was a group that aimed to resettle free African Americans in Africa, specifically in what is now Liberia. Gurley's mission was to gain support for the American Colonization Society in England, as well as to raise funds for the organization. The book includes a series of letters written by Gurley during his time in England, detailing his meetings with various individuals and organizations, as well as his efforts to promote the goals of the American Colonization Society.Throughout the book, Gurley provides insight into the attitudes and beliefs of both Americans and the English towards the issue of slavery and the resettlement of free African Americans in Africa. He also discusses the challenges faced by the American Colonization Society, including opposition from abolitionists who believed that the organization was perpetuating slavery by promoting the idea that African Americans should leave the United States.Overall, Mission to England: In Behalf of the American Colonization Society provides a fascinating look at the efforts of the American Colonization Society and the attitudes towards slavery and African American resettlement in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
