"On December 31, 1963, the federation was dissolved, and Northern Rhodesia became the Republic of Zambia on October 24, 1964. At independence, despite its considerable mineral wealth, Zambia faced major challenges. Domestically, there were few trained and educated Zambians capable of running the government, and the economy was largely dependent on foreign expertise." To the point: Zambia gained independence in 1964 from the British. Zambia was the worlds main source of copper , so the African miners form a union and are appointed to the legislative council. Shortly after the African congress is formed Zambia is made into a federation with Malawi and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), Zambia is given a new Constitution and Kenneth Kaunda  becomes head of the National Independence Party and Zambia becomes Independent. Then a new president comes in, named Frederick Chiluba.

Zambians in a way can be more respectful than the American way of life. Sometimes when they first come to the states they might think we are rude. Why? Well in Zambia when you have visitors like family, friends or strangers you invite over, you want to welcome them with a full hug, then tell them to take a seat and you offer something to drink and food, sometimes they wont accept the food but you should still leave it out. To be more specific you usually offer cookies (biscuits) and water. But anything is fine. You don't want to be quiet either or shy else they might take that as rudeness.
