African Institution
The African Institution was founded in 1807 after Britain abolitionists succeeded in ending the slave trade in Great Britain. The Institution was formed to succeed where the former Sierra Leone Company had failed - to create a viable, civilized refuge for freed slaves in Sierra Leone, Africa. The nephew of King George III, the Duke of Gloucester, acted as the African Institution's first president, and was joined by many notable clergymen and aristocrats.〔Thomas, Lamont D. ''Paul Cuffe: Black Entrepreneur and Pan-Africanist'' (Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 1988) pp. 32-33〕 Where the Sierra Leone Company sought first to convert the native population through evangelism, the African Institution aimed to improve the standard of living in Freetown first.〔Thomas, p 140, note 15〕
The black merchants of Freetown, Sierra Leone, were prevented from getting ahead, though, by the tight monopoly which the British merchant company Macauley & Babington held over the Sierra Leone trade.〔Thomas, p. 4451〕 On 7 April 1811 American black entrepreneur Paul Cuffe met with the foremost black merchants of the colony, including the successful John Kizell. They penned a petition for the African Institution delineating that the colony's greatest needs were for settlers to work in agriculture, merchanting and the whaling industry, that these three areas would facilitate growth for the colony best. Upon receiving this petition, the members of the institution agreed with their findings.〔Thomas, p. 80〕 Cuffe and these African merchants together founded the Friendly Society of Sierra Leone as a local mutual-aid merchant group dedicated to furthering prosperity and industry among the free peoples in the colony and loosening the stranglehold that the English merchants held on trade.〔Thomas, pp. 53-54 and Harris, Sheldon. ''Paul Cuffe: Black America and the African Return'' (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1972) p. 55〕
