Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Americans looked to the African coast in the 1810 to 1830 period for areas in which they could settle large numbers of free and freed African Americans, they considered the Rio Pongo. There would have been many benefits to the Americans, but there also were obstacles. This study examines American interests and reasons an American colony failed to be established. It also reviews the creole families that dominated the Pongo's commerce in the 1820s.
