If this wasn't video recorded about Liberia, and someone was telling you about how Liberia was, you would think they were lying. Damn! From grace to grass.
Woow I’m amazed at what I see. I lived in Liberia for some years. I’m a Nigerian. No wonder why Liberia got the slogan “ sweet Liberia “. I hope Liberia is restored to its greatness someday.
This brings tears to my eyes! These were the days when our leaders cared deeply for our country. Not to money hungry corrupt once we have today. They killed our country. We MUST revive our country to her former glory!!
William Tolbert was a reformer who had even made it illegal for the President of Liberia to serve infinite terms and he was the second President of Liberia who also spoke native language and not just English. Samuel Doe was just a rabble rousing opportunist who with his gang destroyed a prosperous country by opening way for all the chaos Liberia would see: Liberia is now one of the world's poorest countries.
Firestone, Harvard, and the Scramble of Africa by European Imperialist Ruined Ghana. Charles D.B. King was a weak minded President of Indigenous background in the Sierra Leone Liberia border Region.
It’s sad that my my country Liberia is one of the poorest countries in the world, watching this video that shows how positive the country was moving with her financial growth and empowering her feature leaders(the young generation) it’s so sad😭
@@thetraveler5334 Isn't it a shame that Liberia looked and fared better under your so-called "kleptocracy" than it does under, I suppose, your saintly dispensation of today? Certainly, the country is more prosperous and progressive than it was under the "kleptocracy", isn't it? Nonsense!
Can we have approval from you guys to publish this video on our social media pages for the youth and others to learn about this beautiful history as well as our tourists clients???
The natives destroyed Liberia after they killed Tolbert. Them and other Africans ironically not only blame Americo-Liberians but Black Americans in general. Welp... They can have Liberia.
Both of you are trolling and going back and forth with this Native versus Americo rubbish. The Europeans fooled both groups into believing they were different from one another
@@zico739 The natives attacked them several times when they arrived, which Africans continue to do to different tribes in the same country even today. There are still tribes in Africa today completely wiping out entire other tribes. The Americans didnt do that to Liberians. They defended themselves and then dominated the areas where they settled. There were only 15,000 of them when they arrived. Predictably, the place went down the toiletttt when the Black American leadership was removed from power.
@@QuatMan obviously a tribe would attack lands that were probably theirs and not really understanding the settlers and in turn the settlers not understanding the African country just made the relationship rocky
@@emmettcarter9209 It is interesting how they NEVER attack any of the whites, Asians, or Arabs...they dont appear to have any problems understanding THOSE people...

Liberia: the country had every opportunity to move forward and advance further, yet the Liberians ruined it for themselves. Now, its nothing but a warzone with cannibal warlords.
your very wrong it’s not a warzone there hasn’t been war in decades 🤣🤣🤣.Nobody has ever eaten people in Liberia it’s not a regular thing,cannibalism only happened when crazy warlords would eat humans due to the drugs they had been taking.Also if it wasn’t for the war liberia would be an african and world power I guarantee you,back then before war the most technically advanced country and group of people
natural rubber market was death as when they find out the formula to made it synthetical . same story in Brazil who was the biggest natural rubber producer back at the 70's.
Natural rubber still meets a high demand because of its integrity. The U.S.A is still a major recipient of Liberia's exports. The U.S. is just more quiet about it.

So sad was a thriving beautiful country.

We need to show this video to all our students. In fact, let's play it at SKD Stadium
OMG! Have mercy on us. Our sweet sweet Liberia. This is heartbreaking . 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞

The natives weren't ready to have the country in there hand but we can't blame them they were treated badly
Liar!@@JakeEvans-bz8ll
The native Liberian spoiled everything
yes they did
Yep. This is the inconvenient truth to those who imagine that Black Americans cant build or run things. SO glad vidoes like this exist.
It’s time for black Americans to build Liberia up again
Where they bulk American?Really
Firestone, Harvard, and the Scramble of Africa by European Imperialist Ruined Ghana. Charles D.B. King was a weak minded President of Indigenous background in the Sierra Leone Liberia border Region.
So Liberia was on a damn good path. Imagine if this could have continued until now?
Damn good path bro
Hmmm, it's so sad
How as a slave colony?
We would have been an economic powerhouse to reckon with in Africa!
@ThirdeyeStrike blame the thirsty native , for wanting equal rights on their own fucking land? Bruh get the fuck outta here with that.
Americo Liberians doomed that country once they decided to maintain American style racism on African soil.
It’s never too late for Liberia to get back on track, Good leadership is the way.
yea right. they are under americas thumb
Y'all got rid of the American Liberians that we're running the country at the time. Even tho they were black, y'all still only saw them as settlers.
Firestone owes the country reparations
@@thebadstation8416they were just settlers tho.
It’s sad that my my country Liberia is one of the poorest countries in the world, watching this video that shows how positive the country was moving with her financial growth and empowering her feature leaders(the young generation) it’s so sad😭
it was a kleptocracy

It's hatred that destroyed our Country and greed continues to keep it poor.
@@thetraveler5334 no it wasnt it is now
Wow wow liberia. Those were the good days .
How did we lose all this??😥😥😥
So beautiful 😫❤❤

Make Liberia great again I love this video

They can have that and rest of the shit hold of Africa.
I'm African-American and my heart bleeds for what our Americo-Liberian cousins had stolen from them
If Only Air Liberia could have thrived longer...they could have some Douglas planes by now via rapid expansion.
Liberia used to be so dignified.
Y'all started to kill off the Americo-Liberians and wonder why the country looks the way it does now
Until the native Doe took over. It was over with. Smh!
At least if Americo Liberians were given their own country without natives, they would have developed nicely
Do not say this plz the natives were capable of doing the same thing mali empire for example and aksum
Both of you are trolling and going back and forth with this Native versus Americo rubbish. The Europeans fooled both groups into believing they were different from one another
@@JakeEvans-bz8ll
The Mali empire and axum were great empires but also 1000 years ago. These natives weren't doing the modern industry and economics
Spot on!
The natives DEFINITELY ruined Liberia.
They were dehumanized and impoverished by the Americo-Liberians. That’s a ticking time bomb that was always going to explode.

Unrecognizable compared to rest of Black Africa, then and now.
then came along Prince Johnson and Charles Taylor.
Seem like things were trying to bounce back when Taylor was there.
Doe is to blame
Those settlers should have continued dominating the natives
The natives sold the land to the settlers. You don’t own something no more after you’ve sold it.
@@mohammedfuseini5568 i mean this africa you can move out if you feel u have more potential
War is a terrible thing
Wow this could have been a rich nation in Africa.
This is not the Liberia we have today ooh my people

the civil war has been over for many years so NO it is definitely not a war zone with cannibal warlords...
