Highlights:
The Republic of Sierra Leone has a unique history as a region in which many formerly enslaved Africans from across the continent resettled between the late-16th and early 19th centuries. The region fell under British colonial control starting in 1800 and experienced a wave of slave resettlement at the time following the abolition of the slave trade in Britain in 1807. Britain ruled the region from 1800 to 1961, granting the nation independence in April 1961.

History
