  • However, Christian missionaries also became a disruptive force in African society. After converting to Christianity, many Africans would no longer recognize the authority of their local chiefs. In addition, some missionaries provided essential information to European armies and supported military expeditions against African groups that refused to accept Christianity.

But of course plunder could hardly be achieved without the use of firearms derived from the trade in ivory - for ivory trade and political domination went hand-in-hand, as Alpers implied.

      These missionary schools were opened with the aim of converting the former slaves/ the slaves that were "liberated". With the hope of being free and similar to their former slavers, the people in Mombasa decided to join the schools. It can be assumed that they joined because they wanted to be "modern" like missionaries.

      Schools were introduced by the Christian missionaries and even if their intentions were not to benefit the "liberated" slaves, they ended benefiting useful and empowering information as the centuries went by.
  • While much has been written on the influence of both the Christian missionary societies and the colonial authorities on the development of education in Kenya, less attention has focused upon the African reaction. A common interpretation of this reaction is that while African communities may have been initially suspicious, they soon recognised the importance of education and embraced it enthusiastically.

      After being enslaved and traded, the East Africans were not willing to fully trust the westerners. The missionaries were able to achieve their main goal of converting Africans into Christians and in order to do that they had to start with the young ones hence schools were built.

    The stylometric foray into the Anglo-Zulu War refers to a study conducted by literary scholars to determine the authorship of a controversial historical document related to the war. The document in question is known as the Maclean-Bennett-Rubin Manuscript and contains a first-hand account of events leading up to the war and its aftermath. The authenticity of the manuscript has been questioned, with some scholars suggesting it may have been a forgery. The stylometric study involved comparing the writing style of the manuscript to that of its suspected authors, using computational techniques to analyze patterns in the text. The study found that the manuscript appeared to be written by a single person and that the style was consistent with that of William Rubinstein, one of the suspected authors. However, the study did not definitively prove the authorship of the manuscript and the debate over its authenticity continues
