Quote Breakdown Can you determine what a historical figure is saying? After having witnessed European imperialism, Edward Morel, author of the book “The Black Man’s Burden” issued this quote relating to European imperialism. After I have read the quote the first time, go back over the quote and try to put the quote into your own words. Try and figure out what Morel is telling people in his quote. (10 points) You can reread the quote using page 348 in your textbook.

Edward Morel’s Quote “Nor is violent physical opposition to abuse and injustice henceforth possible for the African in any part of Africa. His chances of effective resistance have been steadily dwindling with the increasing perfectibility in the killing power of modern armament. Thus the African is really helpless against the material gods of the white man, as embodied in the trinity of imperialism, exploitation, and militarism.”

New Period of Imperialism European countries tried new forms of control to take over Africa. Reasons: Wanted to shape the economies of African countries so they could become richer. Wanted African people to become European by accepting European beliefs and ideas.

Timelines of Resistance As Europeans began taking more land and control of Africa and its people, African tribes tried more and more to resist European imperialism. Directions: Working in pairs, create a timeline using poster paper, that shows in what order African resistance began, continued, and eventually ended. Use the map of Africa on page 349 in your textbooks to help you see the different resistance movements that occurred and in what year they occurred. Take the information and transform it into a timeline that others could study and understand how African resistance spread and changed.

Resistance Timeline: Questions to Consider Using the timeline and map on page 349, work with your partner to answer the questions below on your timeline. 1. Over a period of how many years did Africans attempt to resist European control? Why? 2. Why would Africans continue to resist despite losing so many times? 3. Looking at the timeline, which resistance movement lasted the longest? Why do you think this is? 4. Looking at the timeline, why would so many different resistance movements overlap at the same times? 5. Evaluate the resistance movements, do you think the resistance of Africans helped or harmed Africa? Explain in a paragraph.
