History
During the 1920s, as the Great Depression began and eventually drove out African Americans into Liberia, slowly pouring into Liberia and heightening tensions between natives and Americo-Liberians. By the 1930s, Marcus Garvey quickly directed more and more African-Americans to leave America and enter Liberia for a new age of freedom, and eventually Liberia has slowly been more and more distant from America's grip. Liberia reached a population of one million in 1935 and growing.
