The ACS article has more details on the founding of Liberia than the Liberia article

Hi Everyone,

I think this article is a little lite on details for the founding of Liberia. The details of the land acquisition seems to have been placed in the ACS article at American Colonization Society | Colony of Liberia.

The information should be present in this article. The ACS article should probably reference this article. If the information is controversial, then present all the views.
