"The love of liberty brought us here"
Williams was pleased with this result. Though the Afro-American community is a very small minority in their nation, the large amount of farmers was music to Williams ears, who was renown for his agrarian policies and beliefs. However, he was worried that his rival, Tyrice Daniel of the Nationalist Party, would gain favour with the American Colonization Society and replace him as Colonial Agent. However, he brushed his worries aside as he recieved great news about the population.
With this news, Williams passed a new bill through the Colonial Senate named "The Rights of Man". This bill ensured that all men, and by all he obviously meant Afro-Americans, were equal. This bill was heavily criticized by the 96% majority of unrepresented people, as well as the Nationalist Party who had recently started campaigning
for a naturalized Liberia.
With the Rights of Man bill passed through the Colonial Senate, Anthony D. Williams set his sites on the bigger picture and began writing his first ever political piece titled "The Greatest Liberia". In this piece he expressed his ideas of a so called "Greater Liberia" which would contain much of the unclaimed land bordering Liberia. Though his piece would not be completed for a while, the ideas still greatly affected the modern politics of Liberia.

Thanks for reading the first post to my first AAR! I don't suspect much to happen with this AAR, though I do have a few plans for what I want to do down the line, and achieving Greater Liberia is my main goal. I hope you have enjoyed reading, and I hope you will continue to enjoy reading! Thanks!
Oh, and I know this particular post is image heavy and very little happens, I wanted to establish it before really playing on,
