From David Walkers Appeal to the colored citizens of the world.

Will any of us leave our homes and go to Africa? I hope not. Let no man of us budge one step, and let slave-holders come to beat us from our country. America is more out country, that it is the whites - we have enriched it with our blood and tears.

The correct answer is D. The American Colonization Society

Explanation:

David Walker's'Appeal or An Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World was a document written by the American abolitionist David Walker in 1830. In this, Walker criticized different groups and individuals that promoted slavery and discrimination, especially the American Colonization Society, because this group supported the idea to deport the black population including free slaves to Africa and more specifically to Liberia as this was created with this purpose.

This criticism against the American Colonization Society can be seen in the quote included as Walker refers to the purpose of this group as " Will any of us leave our homes and go to Africa? I hope not", also he states "America is more our country, that it is the whites" to defend the right of black people to stay in America instead of being returned to Africa as the American Colonization Society proposed.
