I found the first section to be very intriguing and I learned a lot about the early expeditions to Africa and the Congo river. I was interested in the jump from educating, in both schooling and religion, the people of Africa to enslaving them and taking their resources. One person that I found very interesting was Affonso who was one of the first Africans to learn Portuguese and he dictated many letters, which still exist today.
Two questions that I have are...
Why does and when does Henry Morton Stanley go back to Africa?
How, when, and by who was the Congo region divided out into separate countries?
