Liberia was founded in 1822 from former American slaves, as a project of the American Colonization Society, and its capital named after James Monroe who was a supporter. It declared independence in 1847. Why did The US not recognize Liberia until 1862?

Did anywhere besides the US feature something like the American Colonization Society, which sought to send freedmen to Liberia?
And if so, did they also send their freedmen to Liberia or did they send them somewhere else? How similar was their rationale to that of the ACS? When the freedmen arrived, how did their reception compare to those of American freedmen?

The American Colonization Society, founded to relocate black freedmen outside of the United States, survived well into the 20th century and decades after emancipation. Why didn't the organization dissolve after the Civil War? How did it change post-emancipation?

[WP] On a time travel mission you interfered with the colonization of the Americas and return to the present to find that Native American tribes had assimilated with the European settlers and become integrated in society. You’re now dealing with an organized “crime tribe” that rivals the mafia.

Are there North American Indigenous societies that had developed the written word before Europeans arrived? Do we have historical records of life pre-colonization?
Obviously many Indigenous societies have a strong oral tradition, so we have lots of information that way. But the distinction between history and pre-history is the development of the written word, and so accurate record-keeping.
Looking for book recommendations on the history of the Native American people prior to colonization. Where to start?
Question on the American Colonization Society
Hello r/history,
Recently I learned about the American Colonization Society, and the controversey surronding it. I believe that it was a group of "abolitionists" who wanted to move both free blacks and slaves outside of the U.S. for different reasons. The group was generally comprised of two differnt types of people: people who supported abolition, and believed that free blacks would have more of a chance if they were to return to Africa, and people who had a fear of blacks, and believed that free blacks would "unsettle" the large slave populations. So, my question, r/history, is which of these two groups had more power within the ACS?
TIL Liberia was founded and colonized by the American Colonization Society - a 19th century organization to return free African Americans to Africa. They sent back over 13,000 people.

Are there any good movies about Native Americans & lifestyle, Before colonization?
I recently watched "The Revenant" and liked the gritty depiction of the native american tribes. It made me wonder if there are there any good movies about Native American life, before colonization. so only movies that depict native americans and their lifestyle before any colonization (not intrested in voice over type documentations. Only story driven movies)

Why is the history of colonization of Africa and South America taught but not Southeast asia in American public schools?
I just realized it but the only reason why I know about the Dutch colonizing Indonesia is because I looked up Kopi Luwak at one point. And I only knew about the Spanish colonization of the Philippines because I worked with a few Filipinos before.
But I learned about the colonization of Africa and South America all throughout public school and city university required history classes. At one point in one of my history classes, I learned about the colonization of Haiti by the French too, and one of my history tests asked about the liberation of Haiti.
But after like 15 years, I realized that they really didn't teach anything about Southeast Asia. Hell, they barely went over the Vietnam War compared to every other major historic event.

How would problems that would be better handled on a wider scale (like regional, international, ECT.) Be handled within an Anarchist Society. Examples, the Environment, electricity, Space explanations and more importantly colonization.
So as said in the title I would like to know how in an anarchist society things that simply can't be handled on the Local level would be handled.
Like environmental policy which could be handle on a local level but would probably better handled on an international level. Also electricity which would be best handle on a regional or even national level.
The final one space colonization. The simple fact is we're going to have to get off this planet one day and how would that be handled within an anarchist framework. It would take huge amount of resources to to something like that and not I'm sure an anarchist society would be cable of centralizing such a vast amount resources.
I should also say that I am not new to Anarchism. I actually understand it well when it comes to the understand Council based delegation-based government. I just can't understand how this would work without some communes being forced to except the consensus for the betterment of all humanity.

What did Native Americans refer to themselves as before European colonization?
I know we have the now non-pc term ‘Indian’ that was originated by Columbus. This was replaced by Native American, but even this is colonial because it derives from America after Amerigo Vespucci. Did Native Americans have an all encompassing term they used to refer to themselves before European intervention, like natives or indigenous people? Or did they just identify solely by their tribe names like Cherokee, Iroquois, Choctaw, etc?
Were all/most/much the Native American political and ethnic structures that existed before the European colonization destroyed by diseases and what was the connection of the tribes later encountered(Iroquois, Lenape ect) to the pre Colombian tribes?
