User:Ayatollah Gurkhmeini/HowTo:Lead a Victorian-era expedition to Africa

Leading a Victorian-era expedition to Africa requires skills in inaccurate cartography, racist anthropology, pseudo-Darwinistic biology, and romantification of one's childish escapades.

So, you have decided to lead a Victorian-era expedition to Africa, have you not? Splendid.

Despite the fact that Victorians were generally boring, prudish Protestant nitwits who did nothing but gossip all day and read sentimental novels, a few of the more brave of them did participate in expeditions to Africa, characterised by stupidity, intolerance, and bad science, which, coincidentally, are now the three guiding principles in American government. Due to this, it is not much of a stretch to assume that Victorian-style escapades in the God-forsaken jungles of the Congo are not only compatible with modern American culture, but made for it.
