World Civ Fall 6.4

Read the pages 23-27 in your reader on The Congo Free State to get an overview of King Leopold's actions in the Belgian Congo. You should annotate this document and bring it to class. Be sure to note any questions that you have-- what remains unclear?

Then read excerpts from the Casement Report on pages 28-30. Annotate, making notes on what you read in the report that confirms ideas from the Congo Free State reading. What other problems does Casement document?
