Henry Morton Stanley is responsible for the deaths of around ten million Congolese people as a result of putting Leopold's plans into action and making millions suffer. Henry didn't care about the people and instead cared to meet rubber quota, Henry also wanted to maintain a good record for papers so he would pose with the people acting like he was working with them but instead he was ruthless to them.

Stanley knew what he was doing so he was guilty, Stanley disguised his actions making it seem like he was a part of Leopold's humanitarian act.

Reasoning 2

Henry acted like a person who was "hard working" by posing next to the people he had just tortured to work. Stanley was so selfish he would have people who were sick or injured to work and collect money for him.

Reasoning 3

Stanley is the one who was in charge of the mass killing, he put Leopold's plans into action since Leopold never stepped foot in the Congo.
