Liberia is a country in West Africa which was founded, established, colonized, and controlled by citizens of the United States and ex-Caribbean slaves as a colony for former African American slaves and their free black descendants. It is one of only two sovereign countries in the world that were started by citizens and ex-Caribbean slaves of a political power as a colony for former slaves of the same political power, the other being Sierra Leone, established by Great Britain. Settlement of former slaves was organised by the American Colonization Society . The mortality rate of these settlers was the highest in accurately recorded human history. Of the 4,571 emigrants who arrived in Liberia from 1820 to 1843, only 1,819 survived until 1843.In 1847, the ACS encouraged Liberia to proclaim independence, as it no longer wanted to support it. The United States declined to act on requests from the ACS to make Liberia an American colony, or to establish a formal protectorate over Liberia, but it did exercise a moral protectorate over Liberia, intervening when European powers threatened its territory or sovereignty. Northern state governments continued to provide some donations to the country in the 1850s before the American Civil War. Liberia retained its independence throughout the Scramble for Africa by European colonial powers during the late 19th century, while remaining in the American sphere of influence. From the 1920s, the country became dependent on exploitation of natural resources. The rubber industry and the Firestone Company dominated much of the economy. Until 1980, Liberia was politically dominated by the small minority of descendants of the free African-American colonists, known collectively as Americo-Liberians. Little economic development occurred during this period. Since the late 20th century, the country has been politically dominated by members of the indigenous peoples of the country, who constitute the majority of the population. Years of civil war have disrupted the country and its economy.
