  • Dr. David Livingstone is a legend among explorers and adventurers, a true example of North Sea strength and Scottish grit. During his incredible life, Livingstone undertook three major expeditions into the Dark Heart of Africa, travelling a phenomenal 29,000 miles, a greater distance than the circumference of the earth. Achieving this in any circumstances is incredibly impressive, but doing so in the 19th century, during the Victorian era when almost nothing was known about the interior of Africa, is astonishing. It is no exaggeration to say that even the very first astronauts to walk on the moon in the 1960s knew more about its surface than Victorian explorers did about the center of Africa: it really was unchartered territory.

      Kenya has an advantage of its routes to transport or bring in slaves that is why they had an increased population of slaves
  • Cities along the mainland coast and Zanzibar Island became major international slave trading centers (Harris 1971). By the 1830s, clove plantation agriculture had experienced a boom in Zanzibar and this saw the increase in local slave populations from 15,000 in 1819 to over 100,000 in the 1830s (Cooper 1980; Davidson 1980; Croucher 2015). The plantation economy’s apex was reached between 1875 and 1884 when there were 43,000–47,000 slaves on the Kenyan coast which represented 44 percent of the population (Cooper 1980; Morton 1990); the largest concentrations of enslaved laborers were in the Malindi- Mambrui region near Takaungu and in the Lamu and Pate area, although there were smaller numbers of slaves in Mombasa and Vanga, among many other places (Morton 1990).

  • The pressure of British naval patrols forced slave traders to start selling their captives to internal merchants; instead of being shipped overseas, many captives began to be retained on the East African coast to support the labor needs of the rising plantation economy.

    The Committee for Studies of the Upper Congo was founded by Leopold II in 1878 with financing from an international group of bankers, following the British-American explorer Henry ( later Sir Henry ) Morton Stanley's exploration of the Congo River in 1876-77. Leopold hoped to open up the region along the Congo River. Between 1879 and 1882, Stanley, under the auspices of the renamed International Association of the Congo, established several trading and administrative stations along the Congo River, including Leopoldville ( now Kinshasa), and negotiated treaties with local chiefs.

    A part of that explains the reasons guns were brought to Southern Africa
  • aphiwe2023 on 26 Apr 23
     
    Guns in South Africa were initially introduced as a resource to help hunt animals and for protection but they were mainly for hunting animals. It was believed that the firearms would help chase away beasts which would result to better agriculture as they could then grow to their full potential without being removed or destroyed by wild animals and beasts. This would benefit everyone as agriculture was booming in the Southern part of Africa and could grow crops that couldn't grow overseas. The use of fire arms obviously greatly changed over the years.
