David Livingstone's Africa

David Livingstone was an Anti-Slavery advocate, and Missionary - a popular hero of the 19th century who advocated for colonial expansion and imperial reform in the colonies believing that the crown could help the people of Africa but needed to change it's policies to do so. He believed that the Slave Trade as practiced by Arab merchants and others in Africa could be stopped with the influx of other trade; not of people but of goods which is why he promoted colonial expansion as such brought with it railways and modern infastructure nessisary for the influx of modern goods. He also believed that the gospel being spread into Africa would combat the Arab influence and foster fellowship on the continent. What would David Livingstone's Africa look like today?
