Civil War in Liberia

People stand outside the Ministry of Finance building in Monrovia during the Liberian Civil War. Five percent of the Liberian population is descended from freed slaves, many of whom came from the United States after 1822 under the sponsorship of various religious and philanthropic societies. They patterned their flag, attire, place names, architecture, and government on the the American model, hence the prevalence of southern US architectural styles.
