Who was the person that suggested that African people go back to African countries and develop their own nation due to the slavery in the America at that time ?

Thomas Jefferson first proposed the idea during the Revolutionary War period.

Paul Cuffe, a Quaker of African-American and Native American ancestry, first took 38 freed African-American emigrates to Freetown, Sierra Leone in 1816 and planned more trips but he passed away in 1817.
The idea of the ACS (American Colonization Society) originated with Charles Fenton Mercer in 1816.
