Marcus Garvey's movement was different in kind, not in degree, Troll- it was Blacks organizing themselves for a return to Africa, not Whites proposing to ship them back.

Liberia was the creation of the American Colonization Society, Jehudi Ashmun, et. al., and had as much to do with whites 'Christianizing' the 'African Heathen' as it did deporting American Blacks- especially free Blacks, who the South was afraid would be the nucleus of slave revolts like Turner's, Vesey's, Prosser's, etc, etc.

I seem to recall that John Brown was hanged by the state of Virginia- a slave state, no? Don't think HE expected any sympathy from that quarter. And only 5 of Brown's band (including himself) were hanged; 10 were killed outright in the raid or died from their wounds and the rest escaped. Interesting sidelight: the two Black raiders that were hanged, Shields Green and John Copeland, were decently buried in plain coffins shortly after being taken down from the scaffold, but were almost immediately dug up again by students of Winchester Medical College to be used for dissection. This despite the fact thatCopeland's father had been assured by Va.'s Governor Wise, before his son's execution, that the body would be returned to him.
