Established in the 1800s by freed slaves from the United States of America, LIBERIA is an English-speaking country located in Western Africa. The American Colonization Society helped freed slaves move to what is now Liberia. In 1847, the residents declared independence from the colonizing organization, achieving independence before any colonized country of Africa (Ethiopia was never colonized). There are 3 bordering countries: Guinea, Ivory Coast, and Sierra Leone. The capital and most-populated city is Monrovia. Christianity is the country's main religion. The currency is the Liberian Dollar, and its ISO 4217 currency code is LRD.
