ACS and Byden

I think that even though the American Colonization Society was set up by white people with the main purpose of preventing a revolt in the US, Byden was hugely in favor of it. Byden wanted all black people to return to Africa, as he is the "father of pan-africanism." While clearly not all of these people returned to their native country of Africa, the ACS enabled many to return to Africa (Liberia specifically).
