Answer:

Bethel African Methodist Church always stood for the civil rights of all individual and so it protested against the American Colonization Society (ACS) as they were trying to curb the rights of the blacks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Richard Allen who happened to be a slave founded Bethel African Methodist Church in Pennsylvania in 1794. The American Colonization Society (ACS) was founded in 1816 and was much criticised by the Bethel African Methodist Church .

ACS member believed that independent black slaves should be returned to Africa and should not be allowed integration with their society as the educated mass of blacks were a threat to slavery institution followed by the whites.
