in the Attempt to blame his disgusting acts on King Leopold ll it was able to be proven that he was behind it. According to the Henry Morton Stanley Article it states, "Throughout his journal and letters, that his goal for what he was doing was Glory and Fame.

His mission in the land in Africa was to gain Glory and fame from what he was doing in full knowledge that it was wrong. Getting the people of the land under his control was his first step to having full power over what was happening.

I am putting Henry Morton Stanley on trial for the murder of 10,000,000 Congolese people. in his "discovery" of the Congo he took control over the land and its people putting them through crazy labor, being abused and many more harmful acts eventually leading them to death.

not caring for the Congolese people what so ever he could care less if they got sick or any life threatening diseases. When these people eventually did pass all he cared for was to look good to the public and put off a good image to the society.

According to the Henry Morton Stanley Article it states, " Chaining workers together, allowing them to get sick. in fact. the desire to have the comforts of Europe, like stuffy chairs and good food, meant workers were forced to carry heavy loads over long distances. This helped to spread diseases, as workers traveled from deep in the forest, out to surrounding supply stations. he did not care if people got sick and died, he wanted to look good for the pictures that would be published in the newspaper."
