Wilberforce Colony

Wilberforce Colony was a colony established by free African American citizens, founded in c. 1829 north of present-day London, Ontario, Canada. It was the outgrowth of one of several movements connected with the American Colonization Society (which was established in 1816 to settle free blacks in an African colony). When American black communities favored emigration, they preferred a country where free blacks could hold full political control of their destiny. The establishment of Wilberforce Colony in Canada was one such movement, linked particularly to Cincinnati, Ohio.〔Taylor, Nikki M. "Frontiers of Freedom: Cincinnati's Black Community, 1802-1868" Ohio University Press, 2005, ISBN 0-8214-1579-4, pp.50-79.〕 The colony grew quickly upon its founding, but internal disputes and lack of funding spelled its demise by 1850. Altogether, the colony survived as an independent community fewer than 20 years.
== Background ==
The increase in Cincinnati's black population in the decade starting in 1820 was rapid and pronounced. In 1820, some 433 African-Americans comprised less than 4% of the city's population, but over the next decade the city's black population swelled by more than 400%.〔 This change alarmed some white residents. In response to a citizens' petition in 1828, the Cincinnati City Council appointed a committee "to take measures to prevent the increase of negro population within the city."〔Cincinnati City Council Minutes, November 19, 1828.〕 In March of that year the Ohio Supreme Court decided that the 1807 Black Laws, which placed restrictions on blacks in many areas of life and employment, were indeed constitutional. The Cincinnati City Council enforced this restrictive legislation.
