[edit] Presidency (1864-1868)

Warner's main concern as President was how the indigenous people, particularly the indigenous people in the interior, could be brought into the society and become cooperating citizens. He organized the first expedition into the dense forest led by Benjamin J. K. Anderson. In 1868, Anderson journeyed into Liberia's interior to sign a treaty with the king of Musardo. He took careful notes describing the peoples, the customs, and the natural resources of those areas he passed through, writing a published report of his journey. Using the information from Anderson's report, the Liberian government moved to assert limited control over the inland region.
