Flags of the World | Liberia


Postcard
Liberia means "land of the free" and refers to the nation's origin as a colony of freed African-American and Caribbean / West Indies slaves, repatriated to Africa in the early nineteenth century.

The flag of Liberia bears a close resemblance to the flag of the United States, showing the freed American and ex-Caribbean slaves offspring and bloodline origins of the country.
