The United States does not recognize Liberia…

1852 CE to 1863 CE

The United States does not recognize Liberia until 1862, after the southern states, who have significant influence in the American government, secede from the union to form the Confederacy.

The leadership of the new nation consists largely of the Americo-Liberians, who initially established political and economic dominance in the coastal areas that the ACS had purchased; they maintain relations with U.S. contacts in developing these areas and the resulting trade.
