Sierra Leone
Partly because of his experiences in Jamaica, in 1790 Macaulay was invited to visit Sierra Leone, the west African colony founded by the Sierra Leone Company to provide a home for emancipated slaves from the United States who came to Sierra Leone via Nova Scotia.
Returning to the colony in 1792 as one of the council members, he was promoted to governor in 1794, and was the longest serving governor of Freetown during the 1790s. An unpopular governor, Macaulay remained as governor until 1799.
