Response: Concerning pages 1-32 of Adam Hochshild's
King Leopold's Ghost, I think it sheds some great light on a very rarely heard of topic of Imperialism in Europe and the world wide movement against slave labor in the Congo. I myself became very interested, as I read, in learning about this event in history that I had never heard of before.
Questions:
1. How did the notion of Imperialism in Europe first come about?
2. Why was it important to have slave labor in the Congo?
