Title: Colored American - July 27, 1839
Speaker or author: editor
Newspaper or publication: Colored American (1837 - 1842)
The writer advises his readers not to discount immigration just because it sounds too much like Colonization. Colonization efforts involve a mass effort to move people from their home country. This is not the same as the action of one individual who wishes to move to another country to find a better life.
