Henry Morton Stanley is originally from Denbigh, Wales, United Kingdom. Stanley worked for King Leopold ll through exploring the Congo river, and taking control and power over Congo, and its people, (the Congolese). He told others that he was working towards improving and expanding his power and that what he was doing was good when in reality, he was working for Leopold to gain wealth, power, and control.

I think that Stanley is responsible for the death of 10,000,000 Congolese people because of his motive and how he supported the killing of the people. According to the Henry Morton Stanley article it says, "You might try and blame everything on Leopold, but your journals and letters show that what you cared most about was glory and fame." This piece of evidence is important because it shows how all he wanted through taking control and gaining power over Congo was the fame that would come along with it. He wanted others to fear and seem him as a wealthy and powerful figure in Africa but also throughout the world. Stanley also took away rules that had already been in place and created a new system for the Congolese people that led them to suffer and experience tragic events, he forced them to become slaves and do hard labor.

According to the Henry Morton Stanley article it says, "Your first act in the new land that "discovered" was to take possession of the territory in the name of an empire thousands of miles away. From the very beginning of your time in Africa, you kidnapped and abused African tribesmen."

According to the Henry Morton Stanley article it says, "The historical record shows that you knew from the beginning that what you were doing was wrong. You disguised you intent, naming your 1876 expedition and exploration company the International African Association and claimed that the purpose was for science and charity."

According to the Henry Morton Stanley article is says, "You are responsible for Leopold's terror. You were the one who negotiated the treaties with the Congolese, you were the one who made the Maps for the traders who stole the resources, and your drive to become famous made Africa see like a land where anyone could become rich and powerful."

This evidence shows that Stanley is to blame due to him thinking that he owns the land and is able to control it and its people. Because of him believing that he is able to set new rules for the Congolese people and create a new way for them to live. Because of this he caused harm to the people because he thought he had power, and was superior to Congo and it's people. He felt that he was able to abuse so many people and people because he had power and strength over them. He forced them to do extreme labor for him, just so he could grow as an individual and gain more power.

According to the Henry Morton Stanley the article shows that Stanley is to blame because of how he knew that he was mistreating Congolese people, but didn't stop or even think about stopping. He understood that his rules led to others suffering. His exploration was also deceiving to the outside world because of how he made it seem like what he was doing was going to positively effect Congo, Congolese people, and the world in general.

According to the Henry Morton Stanley article the evidence shows that Stanley is responsible for the atrocities that people said Leopold caused, when really it was Stanley. Leopold never set foot in and didn't want to, so he had Stanley become the one who did. Stanley was the one who caused the tragedies, mistreatment, and the harsh rules towards the Congolese people. Stanley became the one willing to hurt so many Congolese people without even thinking about the affect that he had on Congo and it's people.
