The resolution of the All-African People’s Conference, held in Accra, Ghana in 1958, “condemns colonialism and imperialism” based on these premises.
Whereas all African peoples . . . deplore the economic exploitation of African people by Imperialist Countries, thus reducing Africans to poverty in the midst of plenty . . . Whereas fundamental human rights, freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of movement, freedom of worship, freedom to live a full and abundant life . . . are denied to Africans through the activities of Imperialists.
the Africans held a conference in accra ghana in 1958 condemning colonialism and imperialism. Africans where denied basic rights because the Europeans saw them as savages that needed to be tamed. theses right were returned in 1958.

Roger Casement, report from the Congo Basin region, 1903.
Here Nkwabali took up the tale from Moyo [Bangongo chief]: “We said to the white men, ‘We are not enough people now to do what you want us. Our country has not many people in it and we are dying fast. We are killed by the work you make us do, but the stoppage of our plantations, and the breaking up of our homes…”
this man talks about the shortage of people in Africa. also that the people are being killed by the work load . he tells the white man "we are not enough people to do what you want us to do".

The White Man killed my father,
My father was proud.
The White Man seduced my mother,
My mother was beautiful.
The White Man burnt my brother beneath the noonday sun,
My brother was strong.
His hands red with black blood
The White Man turned to me;
And in the Conqueror’s voice said,
"Boy! a chair, a napkin, a drink."
the white man killed his father,m raped his mother, castrated his brother. then asked for a chair and drink.this shows that the people truly did not think of the Africans as humans.

Economic factors were among the most important motivations for powerful countries to create empires. The following is an excerpt from an appeal from Jules Ferry (a French statesman) to the French monarchy to build a second colonial empire in 1890.

“Colonial (Imperialist) policy is the child of the industrial revolution. It is necessary for wealthy countries where capital (money) is plentiful and accumulates (grows) fast, where industry is expanding steadily, where even agriculture must become mechanized in order to survive. Exports (goods sold to other countries) are essential for public prosperity (wealth). Both demand for labor and the opportunity for capital investment (starting new businesses) depend on the foreign market.

All over the world, beyond the Vosges (a French mountain range) and across the Atlantic, the industrial revolution has resulted in an increasing volume of manufactured goods, the disappearance of traditional markets, and the appearance of fierce competition.

The European consumer-goods market is saturated (full); unless we declare modern society bankrupt and prepare for its destruction by revolution, new consumer markets will have to be created in other parts of the world. Colonial policy is an international manifestation (representation) of the laws of competition.”

Economic factors were most important to create empires. They made food markets . In 1890 a   French statesman build a second colonial empire.

Imperialism brought European explorers into contact with new lands full of exotic plants and animals they had never before seen, many of which served medicinal or scientific purposes. The British explorer David Livingstone was the first European to travel through Africa. Below is an image of the map he created during his travels, as well as his account of the uses of native plant life dating from 1857.

Many Europeans held the racist ideology, or belief, that they were better than other peoples. They believed it was their right and duty to bring “progress” and “civilization” to “primitive” countries. Below is a political cartoon titled “the White Man’s Burden” published in Judge Magazine in 1899. It shows personifications of Great Britain and the United States carrying baskets of Chinese, Africans, Arabs, Filipinos, and other native peoples up a mountain towards “civilization.”

This excerpt, from The Discovery of India by Jawaharlal Nehru, explains how India became a “typical” colonial economy.

This process continued throughout the nineteenth century. Other old Indian industries—shipbuilding, metalwork, glass, paper—and many crafts were broken up. Thus the economic development of India was stopped and the growth of new industry was prevented. . . . A typical colonial economy was built up. India became an agricultural colony of industrial England. It supplied raw materials and provided markets for England’s industrial goods. The destruction of industry let to unemployment on a vast scale. . . . The poverty of the country grew. The standard of living fell to terribly low levels.

Jawaharlal Nehru stated that India was a agricultural colony for England. This meant that England got their materials from India and that England would only profit from it. This lead to India being in extreme poverty.

This excerpt is adapted from Imperialism by J.A. Hobson, a British scholar.

The period of imperialism has witnessed many wars. Most of these wars have been caused by attacks of white races upon so-called “lower races.” They have resulted in the taking of territory by force. . . . The white rulers of the colonies live at the expense of the natives. Their chief work is to organize labor for their support. In the typical colony, the most fertile lands and the mineral resources are owned by white foreigners. These holdings are worked by natives under their  take wealth out of the country. All the hard work is done by natives.

J.A. Hobson stated that the white races are seem more powerful and overcome lower races. The white rulers would go to other colonies and take their resources and take their wealth. While having the natives doing the hard work.

In his book Indian Home Rule, Gandhi was asked the question, “Why do you want to drive away the English?” He replied with the following statement:

. . . “Because India has become impoverished by their Government. They take away our money from year to year. The most important posts are reserved for themselves. We are kept in a state of slavery. They behave insolently [insultingly] towards us and disregard our feelings. . . .”

Gandhi Stated in his book that India got poor because of the government. That the government started to take their money.
