    This source takes a look at David Livingstone's influence on the Batswana kingdom under the ruler Sechele. It further looks at firearms used to protect livestock of the Batswana people. It lastly depicts the use of troops, firearms, and force in the war against the Batswana and the Boers, as the Boers wanted to claim most of the Batswana land. Page 20 to 22 of this document tells us of the use of firearms to protect the livestock of the Batswana people.

      Adding on the mentioned, i believe that the third expedition was not a successful one due to the fact that David Livingston never got to finish his quest of the Nile with which he had to discover the source of the Nile with which he mistakenly assumed that one of his observed lakes is the upper Nile. secondly, him contracting the illness which prohibited him of doing anymore expedition in Africa thus, leading him to investing majority of his time in writing about his observations.
  • Livingstone was, however, the first European to reach Lakes Mweru and Bangweolu and, as always, he wanted to map his whereabouts. In one of his a last letters to Sir Thomas Maclear, he wrote:

  • THE East African ivory trade is an ancient one. It is mentioned in the first accounts of geographers and travellers, and they give it more prominence than the slave-trade. It may have been the search for ivory which brought the first ships around Cape Guardafui, and then southwards along the East African coas

      cacaongcobo on 26 Apr 23
       
      The East African trade is from a long time ago. It is said to be more famous or important than slave-trade because it had soft ivory that was ideal for carving and was always in greatest demands.
  • But it was in the nineteenth century that the great development of the East African ivory trade took place. An increased demand for ivory in America and Europe coincided with the opening up of East Africa by Arab traders and European explorers, and this led to the intensive exploitation of the ivory resources of the interio
