freedom in that country. Some, who had been induced to contribute to the Colonization Society, found it more advisable to aid the new movement. Charles Stewart of Liverpool wrote Garrison that he could count on his British co-workers to raise $1000 for this purpose.[4] At the same time Americans were equally active. Arthur Tappan subscribed $1000 on the condition that each of nineteen other persons should contribute the same amount.[5] [Footnote 1: _Minutes of the Fourth Annual Convention for the Improvement of the Free People of Color_, p. 26; and _The Liberator_, October 22, 1831; and _The Abolitionist_, November, 1833 (p. 191).] [Footnote 2: _Minutes of the Fourth Annual Convention for the Improvement of the Free People of Color_, p. 27.] [Footnote 3: _Minutes of the Third Annual Convention for the Improvement of the Free People of Color_, p. 34.] [Footnote 4: _The Abolitionist_ (November 1833), p. 191.] [Footnote 5: _The Liberator_, October 22, 1831.] Before these well-laid plans could mature, however, unexpected opposition developed in New Haven. Indignation meetings were held, protests against this project were filed, and the free people of color were notified that the institution was not desired in Connecticut.[1] It was said that these memorialists feared that a colored college so near to Yale might cause friction between the two student bodies, and that the school might attract an unusually large number of undesirable Negroes. At their meeting the citizens of New Haven resolved "That the founding of colleges for educating colored people is an unwarrantable and dangerous undertaking to the internal concerns of other states and ought to be discouraged, and that the mayor, aldermen, common council, and freemen will resist the movement by every lawful means."[2] In view of such drastic action the promoters had to abandon their plan. No such protests were made by the citizens of New Haven, however, when the colonizationists were planning to establish there a mission school to prepare Negroes to leave the country.
