While Pennsylvania slaveholders gradually relinquished their title and freed their slaves, the fate of the millions of slaves still held in bondage across the United States became a topic of heavy political debate.

Enhancing the work of the African American Subject Guide, this gallery includes example letters from the correspondence, short biographical sketches of the individuals involved, and a bibliography of relevant sources. Scholars interested in the colonization movements of the 19th century are encouraged to use this gallery as a starting point into these matters.
