"Calumny Refuted by Facts from Liberia" is a significant work authored by way of Wilson Armistead. Armistead, an African-American abolitionist, provides a compelling and genuine counterargument in opposition to the prevailing poor stereotypes and incorrect information approximately the African colony of Liberia. At the time, Liberia was established by means of the American Colonization Society as an agreement without cost African-Americans and former slaves. Armistead systematically dismantles the calumnious narratives that depicted Liberia as an inhospitable and unsuccessful undertaking. Through a detailed examination of data, firsthand money owed, and historic facts, he refutes claims that painted Liberia as a failed experiment in colonization. Armistead emphasizes the accomplishments of the settlers, their efforts in organising a stable society, and their contributions to education and governance. In addition to hard negative perceptions, "Calumny Refuted by means of Facts from Liberia" serves as a testomony to Armistead's willpower to the cause of African-American upliftment and the merchandising of the Liberian experiment as a viable and successful enterprise. Armistead's paintings performed an essential function in reshaping public opinion and fostering a more accurate understanding of Liberia's early history and the resilience of its settlers.
