There were private companies that were bringing slaves to the United States. When the slaves were freed, there were not private companies wanting to take the the slaves back to Africa, and the U.S. would have been responsible for paying to have the slaves sent back. The U.S. government thought it would be too expensive, and looked into other solutions.

What caused Lincoln to consider that it would be mandatory to send all freed slaves to a colony in Africa?
Lincoln had little to do with the requirement to send all freed slaves back to Africa. The experiment of Liberia took place before he was president.
What one corcern did Abraham Lincoln have regarding slaves?
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. He therefore created a colony in africa (now a country) called Liberia to return them to. Many of the newly freed slaves chose instead to remain in the United States.
How many slaves did Abraham Lincoln save?
because he wanted them to his work and he will get those slaves something back. No! He saved over at least 100 or more slaves!
What concern about ending slavery did the American Colonization Society seek to address?
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. The Society's major obstacle was money. Members sought to buy slaves' freedom and then offer them a home in Africa.
Slaves returned to Africa?
After the abolition of slavery, many newly freed slaves wanted to return to Africa. As they had no way of knowing how to get back to exactly from whence they came, the nation of Liberia was established.
