Group disc.

1. The only thing is that i am still wondering if there were promises of riches for going to the Congo.
2. Our group was fantastically good except for a few awkward pauses.

Response to reading.

Europeans were fascinated by the people living in Africa they did not know much but they were eager to know more so they eventually traveled down to what is now known as the Congo with many supplies to be traded. These Europeans ended up trading an extreme amount with Africans, but not for their goods it was a slave trade.Meanwhile the Africans thought that these Europeans with chalky skin were gods and possibly cannibals so they did not want to be traded, and then maybe eaten.The first chapter is mostly about Henry Stanly, After giving a job to a boy with no father and a woman dressed up as a man, he left the navy. He ended up becoming very interested in the project Africa, like many famous explorers were. Stanely ended up meeting Dr. Livingstone and traveled to Africa and gained much acclaim.

Were there groups formed that questioned the ethics of slavery back then?

How would the Arabs obtain all these slaves, with trade, or by force?

three questions

1. I learned:

Mercantile: Merchant trade

Maritime: Sea based trade

also i learned that in 2002 the war in Iraq was made official,a nd were not pulling all the troops out of Iraq yet.

2. I am very curious about Human exhibits.

3. I'm curious about all the reasons why the countries that colonized the places they did. Like all the natural resources and rivers and land.
