The Society was instrumental in the establishment of Liberia, where more than 13000 freed African Americans emigrated. The advent of the Civil War undermined the Society's aims, as newly freed blacks did not wish to emigrate to Africa and the Society ceased operations for a time. Interestingly, the end of Reconstruction in the South later created renewed interest in African migration and an additional 2000 African Americans emigrated post-civil war.
