Explanation:

On March 9, 1841, the Supreme Court ruled 7-1 to uphold the lower court's decision in favor of the African. They wrote that:

"There does not seem to us to be any ground for doubt, that these Negroes ought to be deemed free."

However, the court didn't order the government to provide funds for the return of Africans to their homeland. The new President at that time, John Tyler, refused to provide funds for them. The salvage rights for the ships were awarded to U.S Navy Officers who captured it. Due to such circumstance, the Africans had to raise money from scratch. In November 1841, 35 Africans saild from Newyork towards their homeland, aided by funds raised by United Missionary Society, which was a black group.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
