The separate interests of the different settlementsat length began in many cases to engender animosity and bad feeling; theneed of general laws and supervision was everywhere apparent; and amovement toward a federal union of the colonies was set on foot. A planwas at length agreed upon by all except Maryland, by which the colonieswere united into the "Commonwealth of Liberia, " whose government wascontrolled by a Board of Directors composed of Delegates from the Statesocieties. This board at it...s first meeting drew up a plan of government, and Thomas Buchanan was appointed first Governor of the Commonwealth, 1837. The advantages of the union were soon apparent. The moreaggressive native tribes with whom not a little trouble had beenexperienced, were made to feel the strength of the union; and many ofthe smaller head-men voluntarily put themselves under the protection ofthe Government, agreeing to become citizens, with all their subjects, and submit to its laws. The traffic in slaves all along the coast waschecked, inter-tribal warfare prevented, and trial by the sassa-woodordeal abolished wherever colonial influence extended.
