Hilary Teague
Hilary Teague (1802 – May 21, 1853) was an Americo-Liberian merchant, journalist, and politician in the early years of the West African nation of Liberia. A native of the US state of Virginia, he was known for his oratory skills, and he pushed for Liberian independence from the American Colonization Society. Teague drafted the Liberian Declaration of Independence in 1847 and was later a member of the Senate of Liberia〔("Calumny refuted by facts from Liberia; with extracts from the inaugural address of the coloured President Roberts; an eloquent speech of Hilary Teage, a coloured senator", 1848 )〕 and served as the new country’s first Secretary of State.
==Early life==
Teage was born free in the United States in the state of Virginia in 1805. His father, Colin Teage, was a prominent black Baptist preacher in both Richmond, Virginia, and later in Liberia who had purchased his freedom. The family emigrated to West Africa in 1821 to help establish a colony for former slaves in what is now the nation of Liberia.〔
The younger Teage served as a Baptist minister in Monrovia and was a merchant trading in palm oil. In 1835, Teage became the owner and editor of the ''Liberia Herald'' in Monrovia, after John Brown Russwurm left to become governor of the Republic of Maryland.〔 As editor, Teage became a big promoter of Liberian independence and combined republicanism, black nationalism, and Christianity to make his case.〔(Carl Patrick Burrowes, "Black Christian republicanism: a Southern ideology in early Liberia, 1822 to 1847, ''The Journal of Negro History'', Vol. 86, 2001 )〕 He remained the newspaper's head until 1849, when he left to devote full attention to politics.〔
