Causes and effects
Today most of Sierra Leone's population is Christian and speaks English, this is because of Imperialism in the 1800's. Under Britain's rule 80,000 slaves were freed and brought to Sierra Leone to start a new life with adopted named. There wasn't necessarily a harm to society during imperialism considering 80,000 slaves were freed from slavery to start a new life. The slaves used their farming and agricultural skills to start their own business. The society in Sierra Leone was satisfied with the life they had and didn't have many complaints, they may have been under Britain's rule but it wasn't really a problem comparing to their exhausting lives before. Now comparing to life today, the society in Sierra Leone isn't as advanced in technology as most country's around the world. Sierra Leone is not only in poverty but is also the worst country in Africa due to the fight of independence in the 1800's and the civil war that happened from 1991-2002.
