So this country was an attempt to send all African Americans back to Africa but it failed?

The American blacks who went to Liberia ended up enslaving the indigenous Africans there in the ultimate twist of irony. There's a reason it's not taught about in most American schools.

Not really. Most of the American Blacks who moved to Liberia were Freedmen who owned Plantations in the South iirc. They brought the culture from the South and modified it to Liberia's environment.

Liberia being discovered to employ slaves working for Firestone Rubber Plants was so bad that the League of Nation seriously contemplated handing control of Liberia to Poland in the 1900s.
