After spending a year living with relatives near Gosport and preaching occasionally, he was chosen to become the first teacher at the Indiana State Seminary in Bloomington, which was founded in 1820 but had not yet begun to operate.

It is interesting to note that Liberia shares some parallels to the 1852 anti-Tom novel Frank Freeman's Barber Shop by Baynard Rush Hall, which also featured a slave being sent to Liberia by the American Colonization Society after leading a miserable life in the Northern United States.
The novel, unlike previous examples of plantation literature, acted as a criticism of Abolitionism in the United States, and how easily anti-slavery organisations such as the Underground Railroad could be manipulated by pro-slavery superiors - a concept previously discussed in an earlier anti-Tom novel, Frank Freeman's Barber Shop by Rev. Baynard Rush Hall (1852).
