Moses Sheppard Papers--http://archives.tricolib.brynmawr.edu/resources/5137shep
The American Colonization Society proposed the emigration of blacks in America to Africa as an alternative to slavery. The society helped to found Liberia, and organized transportation and other forms of assistance to facilitate its colonization by American blacks. Moses Sheppard (1771-1857) was a member of the Religious Society of Friends who lived in Baltimore and was involved with the Maryland state branch of the American Colonization Society. His involvement waned later in life as he became disillusioned with developments in the Anti-Slavery movement, particularly what he perceived as extremism in the North.
