How can u find a place, when people was already living there?
@Gin ger watch n listen to the video
They didn’t find a place, they found a country
For heaven sake whether you like it or not Liberia was founded by African Americans. The streets, flags, national anthem etc…says it all!!!
Seeing people taking about kissi, gola, Lorma and crap crap … they are indigenous of the land but they’re not the republic founders.
For heaven sake all these comments hating on the founding fathers (African Americans) of the republic shows exactly why Liberia looking like crap 💩.
know lots of americo-Liberians who despite the land because you guys ran them out and killed some of them during y’all senseless primitive war. Now all your negative comments might even scare these young man away ..ffs!!
Welcome home, brothers.
welcome home brothers
Thank you my brother
Hey there guys! I am new here and would like to know more about the 2023 visit to the continent.
Lala please reach out to us at journeyhomefestival@gmail.com or go to the website www.journeyhomefestival.com
Indeed Liberia has a deep historical ties with the United States of America
Salone also
They were not Slaves , they were Free Men and Women. Yes the nation was founded by AAs …but their were 16 indigenous ethnic groups, thousands of ethnic Africans living in the land BEFORE 1822. Let’s never leave that part of the narrative 👍🏾
Thats a fact! We were just expressing why we chose Liberia as African Americans
@@DOAFRICA may the higher power bless y’all 🫶🏾
It’s sad but the thing with Liberia is the same thing that happened in Palestine 🇵🇸. We came from the continent of Africa but have no home to go back to because of what happened to us. I pray Yah gives us a special place upon his return. He says the last will be first. LOL we AAs are last…😢.
@@salvationismines1 huh ?
The indigenous Founded Liberia with the Free Black Americans. Who you think were enslaved on those shores while Blacks were coming in.
welcome home bro I'm a Liberian living in the e u welcome
God blessed your
God Bless you too
Nice video I will be visiting Jul 4th I can't wait l am liberian who grew in up in New jersey 😅❤❤😂lib 🎉
Welcome home ❤
Welcome brothers ❤
wow, i never knew that african americans went back to africa and developed a successful nation; Before the civil war.
I want to learn more about this
You are home, welcome
Would it be difficult for African Americans to become citizens? It’s unfortunate we can invest but not truly own land if we want. I’m looking to move in Africa and considering Liberia especially because of the history. I’m surprised we can’t purchase land but only lease for business and other reasons but never town for me and my Sons.
You can own anything in Liberia once you are black 😅
@@user-gb8mh5lx8j I am black lol. I’m African American. Leasing is not the same as owning. From my understanding, you have to be Liberian and Negro to become a citizen. Which gives you the right and ability to own land there. You can’t just be Negro. At least this is my understanding. So you can’t just be black. You have to be Liberian and black.
Right....I was like Liberia is strictly against white owning stuff. You are black and that's all that matters
@@cosmicchocolate3832
I want to be able to own land. I didn’t think they would allow non citizens to own land. From my research. Me being black is not enough. Which is disappointing. Unless I got married maybe to a Liberian and became a citizen that way….smh
U can get citizenship in Liberia and buy land or anything u want
We all will meet some days and discuss the foundation of Liberia. A land that was existed, occupied, and set up by the indigenous with an organized and peaceful leadership can't be founded for the second time. Or discover by free slaves who was once taken away and brought back to their same location after many years.
Liberia would be my choice.
And African American didn’t found Liberia, there are ppl who was living in Liberia prior to the settlement
@Gin ger how you found a place where someone already live in you sound ridiculous
@Gin ger AA’s never give a fck bout Liberia , liberia was their farmland , they go there and steal the money and run back to their slave master land, that why only certain part of Liberia was developed.
Founding and discovering are 2 different things. Thanks for your input though!
@@SupremeAfricaKingthere was no country there!
They established the Country and set up a Government and Constitution! And named the the country Liberia!!
@@johnmarkmayu7559 you need history lesson
To say that Liberia was founded by freed African American slaves is akin to saying that Christopher Columbus discovered America. Liberia may have been named after the AAs arrived but indigenous Africans lived in that land for thousands of years before they arrived. A simple google search told me the following "The Gola and Kissi, who also live in Sierra Leone, are known to be the oldest inhabitants of Liberia. The Gola and Kissi belong to a third linguistic group known as the Mel group (West/Southern Atlantic). These groups live in the north and in the coastal region of the northwest."
For heaven sake whether you like it or not Liberia was founded by African Americans. The streets, flags, national anthem etc…says it all!!!
Seeing people taking about kissi, gola, Lorma and crap crap … they are indigenous of the land but they’re not the republic founders.

No lots of americo-Liberians who despite the land because you guys ran them out and killed some of them during y’all senseless primitive war. Now all your negative comments might even scare these young man away ..ffs!!
Liberia was not founded by American Liberians. There were people living on the land. It is like you saying Europeans/ British founded Australia , when people were already living there. If you go to Liberia with this mindset, you will just be making fools out of yourselves because Liberians are not the Liberians that your forefathers oppressed years ago. Maybe if I use this word, you will understand because you suffered the same as African Americans in America. . Let's put it in this prospective, were African Americans allowed to vote? Own lands or were they part of the decision making? laws that concerning them? A big NO, this is what happened to the native Liberians in Liberia. It was about power. Who had the power during those periods of time. People in comment session talking about the constitutions, you go and do more research too. Liberia was not founded by American Liberians or African Americans. You are welcome to Liberia but stop saying, the country was founded by African Americans.
@God-Star ⭐️🪐 you are bitter for no reason. Liberia original name was Grain Coast before the American Liberians came to settle. What about that ? I never said I was stopping anyone from going to the country. Our history was changed, and it is time we educate people like you. No one had ever denied you your oppression in America, and you can't teach me my experience in Liberia. In West Africa, we have Gold Coast, Ivory Coast, and Grain Coast, which is now called Liberia. I believe in integration and change, and this is who I am, and I stay on my word that Liberia was renamed from Grain Coast to Liberia. Welcome home, Liberia is a country to all.
Hey, I believe they're just saying Liberia as a sovereign state, was first founded by Americo-Liberians. Liberia was developed into a modern infrastructure, the first kind in Africa, and that's what they're commemorating.

This is why i told my husband no to settling in Liberia bcos i realise that y'all like alot of problems. Calling us slaves and all that. Ghanaians don't do that bull shit to us. Why y'all won't learn from neighbouring countries? They make us to feel more at home than y'all. It sure makes me to feel y'all gonna let us invest our monies and y'all start another fight again. People that full of arguments never takes long to start a fight. Who willing to invest in a place that is all of the time in tumoil? This is why i told my husband Ghana. At least there i haven't heard anyone call us slaves.
You’re right my sister..
that’s why the country look like crap 💩. People who want to know why Liberia is backward should come and read them comments here. SMH
Point of correction brothers, Liberia was NEVER founded by African Americans or any body. The natives were already there.The ship Elizabeth dropped off the returned slaves on Providence Island in Monrovia in 1822 in December. Matilda Newport had to shoot a cannon to scare the indigenous for the ship to dock for the blacks to get off . They had some fight for that ship to even dock. And another point of correction, Liberia and Ethiopia where NEVER colonized. Those returnees at that time were called the congor people.And those returnees where taken into slavery from different parts of the continent.They were NOT actually from Liberia. They were the ones that took over some political positions because some could read and write. And that's how they came to power. The natives who are the real indigenous were side lined for years before the late Samuel k. Doe , a native took over by a military coup in 19 80. Those in the comment section here that are excepting your comments about your founded Liberia , are naive . They need to go back to school and learn their history properly. Everybody wants to be on social media . These types of conversations are sensitive , they are not for half educated people to come and make comments.

😂😂
Ya’ll the only ones who dress like that in Liberia though.
We need help because now we are at the bottom. Fact remains that Liberia like Ethiopia was not colonized but the locals as we our fore fathers were call ,they were welcoming and humble but it all didn’t go well because always people think low of others because of looks,education etc but I am not saying much because I am not good in history but all I can say since we all fought, became divided and now we are back by God’s grace and things are been modern,let’s welcome change and let’s look at all men as been equal. Bravo to dual citizenship,go Liberia 🇱🇷 go in Jesus name
The Americo or Congo people,the Mandingo,or any other tribes let’s get together and love and build our country. Let’s welcome everyone because the Bible gives special instructions on that and that’s some of the reasons America is also bless. We love you all our AA brothers
