5Later, the battles would be commemorated as the country’s second most important civic holiday, after Independence Day, celebrated with a re-enactment of what amounted to a massacre of natives. Such official humiliation – along with a near systematic ignoring of native history and contributions to Liberian development—became deeply resented by the country’s African majority in the twentieth century and contributed in its own small way to the coup that overthrew the Americo-Liberian regime in 1980.
