  • The E.~rl of Clarendon, in a despatch written to Sekeletu (who, at that time, was considered the paramount chief on the Zambesi), which was sent by the hands of Livingstone, said :-- "Ours is a great commercial and Christiau nation, and we desire to live in pea~e with -dl men. We wish others to sleep soundly as well as ourselves : and we hate the tra.de in slaves. We are the children of one conmmn Father ; and the slave. trade being hatehd to Him, we give you a proof of our desire to promote your pro- sperity by joining you in the attempt to open up your country to peaceful commerce.

      Charles Livingstone played is significant role in the spread of christianity. This proves that not only did he embark on investigating the Zambezi river, he also spread christianity all over and attempted to abolish slavery.

Livingstone, in a subsequent expedition, unaided and alone, dis- covered Lakes Bangweolo and Moero, and the head-waters of the Upper C.ngo (Lualaba), and fixed the true orientation of Lake Tanganyika. Thomson, Consul O'Neill, and other British explorers, have assisted in mapping out and making known the Lakes Region of Africa. No Portuguese travellers have added to their knowledge.

  • The Scottish Churches have been at work there for twelve years, and the English Universities Mission for twenty-six years. A British Consul is attached to Nyassa. The result of these agencies has been (1) to open up a fine route into Central Africa; (2) to create legitimate commerce, and to employ native labour ; (3) to ameliorate the condition of the natives; and (4) to check the slave-trade, tribal wars, and barbarous practices.

  • On November 15 he reached the spectacular falls on the Zambezi, which the Africans called the "Smoke which Thunders" but which Livingstone named Victoria Falls in honor of the queen of England.

      This is evidence that Dr. David Livingstone was the first person to discover the Zambezi river and the Victoria falls.
  • With mutual regrets he severed his ties with the London Missionary Society, but the British government agreed to support an expedition to explore the Zambezi River led by Livingstone, who was made a British consul for the purpose. He sailed for Africa in March 1858.
  • The explorers learned of the existence of two lakes to the north, and on a second journey they discovered Lake Chilwa on April 16, 1859. On a third journey up the Shire they left the boat, walked 3 weeks overland, and discovered Lake Nyasa on Sept. 17, 1859.

  • Regarding himself as a missionary to the end, Livingstone inspired many new enterprises such as the Makololo, Ndebele, and Tanganyika missions of his own society, the Universities' Mission to Central Africa, and the Livingstonia Mission of the Church of Scotland. His life caught the imagination of the Christian world.

      Settler colonies were places outside of Europe where huge numbers of European immigrants voluntarily settled, even though they were a minority among the native population. This allowed them to ensure their political control.1 Colonies were predominately settler colonies until the early 19th century; after that, settler colonies were a distinct type of colony. In classical antiquity, a "colony" was a compact settlement of emigrants from a polis or, in the case of the Romans, a group of retired soldiers. When one considers the definition of colony as it was used in classical antiquity, the phrase "settler colony" becomes a tautology. However, since genuine settlement became the exception rather than the rule in the 19th century, we still use this phrase. The concept of colonialism , which only emerged in the late 19th century, has connotations of "foreign rule".

      Settlers felt they needed to rely on guns for safety seeing as they knew they forcefully occupied land belonging to groups of people and that put them in potential danger.

      David Livingstone, (born March 19, 1813, Blantyre, Lanarkshire, Scotland-died May 1, 1873, Chitambo [now in Zambia]), Scottish missionary and explorer who exercised a formative influence on Western attitudes toward Africa. Livingstone took the decision to go into medicine in 1834 after hearing a need for skilled medical missionaries in China from British and American churches. He spent two years in Glasgow studying Greek, theology, and medicine to prepare while still working part-time in the mill. He was approved by the London Missionary Society in 1838. His hopes of traveling to China were dashed by the first of the Opium Wars (1839-42), but a meeting with Robert Moffat, a well-known Scottish missionary in southern Africa, persuaded him that Africa should be his area of focus. He received his missionary ordination on November 20, 1840. At the end of the year, he sailed for South Africa and arrived in Cape Town on March 14, 1841. Livingstone was constantly moving into the interior of Africa in order to strengthen his commitment to missions, indulge his passion for geographic exploration, engage in conflict with the Boers and Portuguese-whose treatment of the Africans he eventually came to detest-and establish for himself a remarkable reputation as a devout Christian, fearless explorer, and ardent opponent of slavery. But his devotion to Africa was so intense that he neglected his responsibilities as a spouse and a father.

      (born December 21, 1795 in Ormiston, East Lothian, Scotland-died August 9, 1883 in Leigh, Kent, England), a Scottish Bible translator and missionary to Africa who was well-known for his work to raise the standard of living there. Additionally, he was the father-in-law of David Livingstone (1813-1973), a missionary and explorer. Moffat was sent to South Africa by the London Missionary Society in 1816 despite having minimal training. He resided at Kuruman, southeast of the Kalahari (desert), after spending seven years in a number of locales that were disrupted by fighting among Zulu clans. He spent 49 years there, establishing one of the most prestigious Protestant missionary settlements in Africa.

      Humanitarians had been fighting vehemently against slavery by the time the Cape changed hands during the Napoleonic Wars, and in 1807 they were successful in convincing Britain to outlaw the practice. Soon after, British antislavery ships began patrolling Africa's western coast. In order to meet the rising demand in Europe, ivory became west-central Africa's most significant export. The main supply came from the renowned hunters Ovimbundu and Chokwe, who were located near the western port of Benguela. With their weapons, they waded into into south-central Africa and wiped off the elephant populations. They had entered Luvale and Lozi territory by 1850 and were making their way through the southern Congo's woods. The Ovambo peoples, who lived in more rural, agricultural areas, were enticed into the ivory trade as well. The Ovambo had initially been able to dodge the slave trade that plagued their more populated neighbors by selling in salt, copper, and iron from the Etosha Pan region to the north as well as providing hides and ivory to Portuguese traders. The introduction of weapons in the middle of the 19th century greatly increased the volume of the ivory trade, but by the 1880s, the elephant population was almost completely disappeared. By that time, traders from Walvis Bay, the Cape Colony, and Angola wanted livestock in addition to ivory. Ovambo leaders increased their dominance by raiding the pastoral Herero and Nama people in the vast, dry country to their south with the weapons they obtained through trade.

      The earliest connections between South Africa and Europe were made by Portugal's exploration missions. The first Europeans to step foot on South African soil were the Portuguese. The Dutch founded the first permanent settlement in Europe on April 6, 1652.

      An assegai is a pole weapon used for throwing, usually a light spear or javelin made up of a wooden handle and an iron tip. The Zulu produced at least 20 different types of spear. Perhaps the best known of these is the assegai, which was also used by several other Nguni groups in Southern Africa. The Assegai was a throwing spear (javelin) as can be seen from the narrow, leaf-shaped blade and long, slender tapering shaft.

      flintlock, ignition system for firearms, developed in the early 16th century. It superseded the matchlock and wheel lock and was itself outmoded by the percussion lock in the first half of the 19th century. The best-developed form, the true flintlock, was invented in France in the early 17th century, probably by Marin le Bourgeoys. It had a frizzen (striker) and pan cover made in one piece. When the trigger was pulled, a spring action caused the frizzen to strike the flint, showering sparks onto the gunpowder in the priming pan; the ignited powder, in turn, fired the main charge in the bore, propelling the ball.

    This is a writing on the event where Colonel H. C. Gawler is voicing out his concerns to the British Colony regarding the fact that South Africa is located at a perfect location and consists of many advantages to the British colony as they own majority of the land in South Africa. This means that on the Cape which were owned by the British colony there were other resources that benefited them such as the agricultural products, minerals and many other resources that were not available in Britain or their other colonies. He also talks about the Dutch who are now known as the boer and how they expanded till the British finally decided to grant them the permission to manage their own affairs.
