The Bible and the Gun In reviewing Basil Davidson’s documentary “The Bible and the Gun,” many different thoughts as well as emotions become more than present along with a greater understanding of the history of the lives of many Africans. The African people were well aware of the beauty, resourcefulness, and sanctity of their land, yet in the eyes of the British, the land was equivalent to wealth and nothing more. The Africans were targeted by the British as well as other Europeans for their land primarily but once their lands became inhabited, their every move would now be under the control of the white man. Due to the fact that the African people were considered to be the “inferior race,” the white man seemed to have no qualms with mistreating or exploiting them to the best of their abilities. The white man’s desire was to make the Africans ultimately landless. Davidson also makes a point to outline the importance of the slave trade and the fact that it was used in the conquest over Africa and its people. The arrival of the Europeans into Africa was persistent and continuous, after learning the American way of wealth.
