Stanley Begins His Search For Livingstone - March 21, 1871
In 1865, Dr. David Livingstone, a British explorer, began his expedition to the Dark Continent of Africa, in an effort to learn more about the people on this continent, and also wanted to help abolish slavery, the cause for the decreasing population in Africa.
In 1871, it was not known what became of Dr. David Livingstone, so, Henry Morton Stanley set out to search for him. Indeed, he did find Dr. Livingstone, who was now a very sick man. Dr. Livingstone lived another 18 months and after he died, his body was sent back to England, where he was buried in Westminster Abbey.
