An offer by the Sierra Leone Company, 1791, to resettle Black immigrants to Nova Scotia in Africa

The Sierra Leone Company was a scheme to return freed slaves to Africa.

There was little room -- economic or social -- for freed slaves in Europe and North America, and most of the free Blacks lived in poverty. In Britain, some well-meaning abolitionists came up with a plan to return former slaves to Africa. They called their enterprise the Sierra Leone Company, and they advertised widely for settlers.
