The first chapter of this book is giving a clear image to what Europeans saw and dreamed that Africa was rich in resources and large. The reading gives detail to when slave first started and then escalades through time. As the slaves at first were not realized as slaves but asked to do something. As time went on they knew they became slaves and eventually there were so many slaves that trade began with not just resources but also with people. These slaves were traded for money and different resources and were kept in terrible conditions most of the time.
Questions- 1. Why was africa such an important place for the europeans to colonize, and what was there motive?
question 2. Why do you think King Leopold does not come to africa to witness the blood shed?
