An independence referendum was held in Liberia on 27 October 1846. The result was 52% in favour, with independence being declared on 26 July 1847. The American Colonization Society (ACS) had established the colony of Liberia in 1817, with an appointed governor. The British did not acknowledge Liberian customs as the colony was not independent, and during the mid-19th century there were continuous clashes between Liberian government and British merchants from Sierra Leone over payment of taxes, with the merchants arguing that the country had no right to impose taxes.

Vrij snel was de besturende elite onder leiding van gouverneur Joseph Jenkins Roberts het erover eens dat Liberia het best zou gedijen als een zelfstandige republiek. De ACS steunde het bestuur van Liberia in haar voornemen, zij het echter aanvankelijk niet van harte. Na de nodige voorbereidingen te hebben getroffen hield het bestuur op 26 oktober 1846 het onafhankelijkheidsreferendum waarbij 52% van de kiezers (Americo-Liberianen die beschikten over onroerend goed) zich uitsprak vóór onafhankelijkheid.
