| Summary | "Thoughts on African Colonization" by William Lloyd Garrison is a critical account addressing the American Colonization Society, written in the early 19th century. The work focuses on the implications of colonization as a solution to the issue of slavery, challenging its morality and efficacy. Garrison argues against the notion that colonization would benefit either people of color or society as a whole, instead positing that it perpetuates the injustices of slavery. At the start of the work, Garrison presents his vehement opposition to the American Colonization Society, articulating the significant personal and societal challenges involved in advocating for the immediate abolition of slavery. He acknowledges the societal pressure and backlash he faces for calling out the colonization plan, which he deems inadequate, injurious, and contrary to the principles of justice and humanity. Garrison recounts his journey to enlightenment regarding the Society's deceptive practices and delusions and expresses a combination of moral outrage and an unwavering commitment to combat racial injustice, urging his fellow citizens toward a radical change in their views and actions regarding slavery and the treatment of people of color.
