For thirty years, David Livingstone attempted to evangelize native races, explore undiscovered secrets, and abolish the desolating slave trade of Central Africa. His last words he wrote, were:
“All I can add in my solitude is: May Heaven’s rich blessing come down on every one, American, English, or Turk, who will help to heal this open sore of the world.”
Livingstone was vocal in ending the Indian Ocean slave trade, sometimes known as the East African slave trade or Arab slave trade – a multi-directional slave trade. Africans were sent as slaves to the Middle East, to Indian Ocean islands (including Madagascar), to the Indian subcontinent, and later to the Americas.
