The free-born son of an African ex-slave and a Native American woman, Paul Cuffe (1759-1817) made a fortune trading up and down the Atlantic coast of America, eventually mounting trading expeditions to Europe and Africa. A devout Quaker and staunch opponent of slavery, Cuffe became involved in a controversial scheme to ‘return’ free American black people to Africa.
