- ... that in the aftermath of the American Civil War, the only Black-led organization providing teachers to formerly enslaved people was the African Civilization Society? Source: This article says "By 1866 the African Civilization Society employed 69 African Americans engaged in teaching over 2,000 students in Sabbath and day schools in the Northeast. Also by that date, the ACS was the only black association sending teachers to the South to educate the freed people."
- ALT1: ... that the African Civilization Society promoted "Self-Reliance and Self-Government on the Principle of an African Nationality" during the American Civil War? Source: Pages 108–109 of this book provides this quote from the November 1861 amendment to the ACS constitution: "the basis of the Society, and ulterior objects in encouraging emigration shall be: Self-Reliance and Self-Government on the Principle of an African Nationality–the African race being the ruling element of the nation, controlling and directing their own affairs."
