Correct response: What is Liberia?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

Liberia was a 19th-century settlement of the American Colonization Society, who felt that African-Americans would have a better chance at prosperity in Africa; over 15,000 freed slaves and free-born blacks relocated there. Independence was proclaimed in the 1840s, and the first Liberian president not born in the United States was Hilary R. W. Johnson, one of many True Whig presidents; the True Whigs held power from 1878 until a coup d’etat staged by Samuel Doe in 1980.

Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, over $370 has been raised.)
