Guns were used as a tool of power and a symbol of masculinity among various ethnic groups in Southern Africa during the 19th century. While the article focused on this historical context, the legacy of guns in Southern Africa today is complex and multifaceted. On one hand, firearms are still frequently used in armed conflicts and violent crime, leading to widespread death and injury. On the other hand, hunting is a popular pastime and source of income for some inhabitants of the region, and firearms are essential tools for this activity. Additionally, firearms are also seen as a status symbol, with some individuals owning guns as a means of demonstrating their wealth and power. The legacy of guns in Southern Africa today, therefore, remains a contentious issue with both positive and negative implications.

This article is about a young explorer from Germany who was one of the earliest pioneers of the German exploration of Africa .His untimely death turned him into a martyr of science and challenged posterity to lift the mystery surrounding his demise, the search for his remains and his murders and the main focus later on was on the penetration of the African interior and the generational knowledge or opinion on the continent. On the other hand, the circumstances of his death prompted follow-up expeditions that attempted to ascertain the whereabouts of his remains and to achieve his ultimate goal which was the verification of the Great Central Lakes region including the source of the Nile River. His fate contributed to the perceived knowledge about social, political, and ethnic conditions in African interior, including the role of Arab Slave traders as being responsible for his death and thus as a threat to EUROPEAN access. Roscher's example shows that whether the travel disrupted and arbored or "successful" generates further travel sets in motion processes of penetrating or collecting knowledge and securing the passage. 221026202

The primary source is a list of letters from Dr Livingstone, one of history's greatest explorers, to his associates. In these letters he describes in great detail his adventures and explorations all around central Africa. These letters and the contents in them prove he was a really great explorer. In my diigo assignment I will be using one of the letters, the first one, in this primary source as evidence of his great adventures, though there is much more adventures written down in the rest of the letters. The first letter describe Livingstone's journey from Ujiji, following the great rivers and lakes of the area. The most noticeable rivers was the Lualaba. The journey was to reach the residence of the Manyema, which had a reputation of cannibalism around the area. Before reaching Bamabarre, the residence of the manyema, they came across a company of slaves carrying ivory. The slaves had had a very bad encounter with the manyema and as such, they described them as very evil people to Dr. Livingstone and his company. The letter also describes Dr Livingstone's company's encounter with another tribe in the are which was maltreated by slave owners and who were very wary of Dr Livinstone and his company since he had the same skin colour as the people that mistreated them, but the worst they did to Livingstone was to escort him out of the settlement with their shields and spears. The second part of the letter describes Dr Livingstone's journey North of Bmbarre, along the Lualaba river to buy a canoe. The letter describes the treacherous and yet beautiful journey across the forest. The letter gives detailed descriptions of the landscape and the vegetation of the area they were traveling through. These are all important parts of the source because they highlight the conditions Dr Livingstone experienced but never stopped In his explorations. The letter also describes the rush for buying cheap ivory along his journey with his company. He describes the events explici
