[Ohio Colonization Society]:

THE MACEDONIAN CALL. HASTE TO THE RESCUE!

[Columbus, Ohio: July 7, 1870. Broadside, 4-7/8" x 8-3/4." Near Fine.

The broadside is signed in type by B.F. Romaine, the longtime Corresponding and Financial Secretary of the Ohio Colonization Society, which was hard at work despite [or because of] the Reconstruction Amendments abolishing slavery and admitting Negroes to American Citizenship.
Romaine pleads passionately for aid to Liberia. "It is an admitted fact that the evangelization of Africa must be accomplished through the instrumentality of the native population. They only can survive the climate." Blacks who immigrate to Liberia are "pioneers of civilization and Christianity."
