Colonization drew bipartisan support and legislative endorsement across every Northern state by 1832

Evidence

The American Colonization Society grew into the preeminent racial “reform” organization in the United States by the late 1820s. By 1832, every Northern state legislature had passed resolutions endorsing colonization. While many Southern white colonizationists sought to remove free Black people, Northern white colonizationists were typically energized by the scenario of removing all Black people, enslaved and free. — Nikole Hannah-Jones et al., The 1619 Project, 1259
