Botswana is actually one of the top developing countries in Southern Africa since that's where one of the world's most wanted gems is found(diamonds) rated one of the best in the world. Britain gets beef from Botswana because it provides more than any other country in Africa. nice place for a vacation specially in places like Maun and Kasane inclu. the Bushmen in Kgalagadi. It does not cost a lot to live in Bots, the people are nice and welcoming.
But if your asking how they lived back in the 1800 then it is way different. they lived a very hard life back then. There was a lot of work to be done in the house and out in the feilds. The men had to go out to the wheat feilds to grow wheat to provide for their families and the wqomen had to stay home and do the house work. Sort of like now but not.
