Careysburg recounts the story of the freed blacks from America, who settled in the West African St. Paul River settlement of Liberia beginning in 1856. The settlement was greatly influenced by Western culture; however, there were intermarriages with indigenous regional groups, mainly the Kpelle and Bassa tribes. In the following text, two basic research questions are asked: (1) Did settlers who were seeking freedom achieve the true promise of freedom? and (2) How did their pursuit of freedom impact their social and cultural relationship with the indigenous people?
