There were private companies that were bringing slaves to the United States.

Abe Lincoln wanted to return the slaves to africa and had ships ready to take them back. Many chose to go, but he was concerned that many of them had either never lived in africa our had been away for so long that they would be unable to survive.

The American Colonization Society was formed to send Freedmen and women to new homes in Africa. Members were anti-slavery people, but many, as with Abraham Lincoln, were not ardent abolitionists.
