William Spencer Anderson
William Spencer Anderson (c. 1832 – 27 September 1872) was an American-born Liberian politician and explorer. Originally a barber, Anderson emigrated to Liberia at the age of 20 and within five years had inherited a sugar plantation. He expanded the business and became the largest producer of sugar and coffee in Liberia. Entering politics with the True Whig Party Anderson was selected to be speaker of the House of Representatives. He undertook an expedition to drive a road from Monrovia to Moussodougou in what is now Burkina Faso but he was forced to abandon the attempt. Returning to Monrovia, Anderson successfully negotiated a $500,000 for the government from British financiers. However he received criticism for the terms of the loan and was arrested. He was assassinated on 27 September 1872.
