Liberia chat — Africa's first republic, on the Atlantic coast
Liberia holds a unique place in African history as a country founded by freed American slaves in the 19th century. Its capital, Monrovia, is named after US President James Monroe and sits on the Atlantic coast of West Africa. English is the official language, and Liberia's deep ties to the United States give it a culturally distinct character among its West African neighbours.
