Your nephew needs to work on himself as opposed to changing the world to match his flaws.

Thats what he's working on now..I know this because last time we spoke he said,"I don't feel like a victim." (an advancement) This was important because he is somewhat militant...This told me he was thinking..I of course told him that to this day there are times when I still feel sorry for myself and victimized by whatever. And rather than him say his situation was different because of slavery (which he had done) he initialized the thought with me that things are tough all over..I can't do the conversation justice, but it was good stuff.

Im still hunting a Conspiracy or cooky alternate story about Liberia for Him though..
Psychoanalyze much?..Its all good. Intuition is the name of the game.
Exploration of his Psyche should have been a disregarded thought. Left for luck, as it is the residue of design, a suggestion considered and left to apply itself and fall to the floor because there was no place for it. Even so, You are not incorrect.

By far the majority of Liberians are simply ordinary Africans and are not descended from freedmen.

Liberia was created long before the Civil War and the abolition of slavery. It was an early attempt to free and repatriate slaves.
The American Colonization Society (ACS) was formed in 1817 to send free African-Americans to Africa as an alternative to emancipation in the United States. In 1822, the society established on the west coast of Africa a colony that in 1847 became the independent nation of Liberia. By 1867, the society had sent more than 13,000 emigrants.
Well, it was small potatoes.

This makes the version of history in my education seem a little sketchy..If the north didn't care about freeing slaves then why was the repatriation already being undertaken..THIS is intriguing,
