David Livingstone explored Africa as a missionary and a doctor. He explore for mainly three reasons, the three C's. His motto during his exploration was "Christianity, Commerce, Civilisation." And these were his three main reasons for exploring the interior of Africa. For the first C, Christianity, during his speech made in Cambridge in 1857, he said that he want to explore “country south of the desert” was to “instruct the natives in a knowledge of Christianity”. He said “country south of the desert”, meaning south of the Sahara Desert, including Angola and Zambia in present days. David Livingstone was a Christian when he was small, since his parents were also Christians too, and he is a really religious person, and he preached to the people in Africa. By introducing the natives about Christianity and the Gospel, David Livingstone then wanted to civilize them. At those days, the British people see themselves as a high civilisation, with Christianity adding in their civilized culture. In civilising these natives through Christianity, David Livingstone will be able to create formal relations with them. These relationships can bring opportunities between these natives and England. David Livingstone hope to trade goods between England and Africa, getting some precious resources from their and giving the people in Africa help including in medical, educational etc. These can also bring money to England, making them a richer and stronger Kingdom.
