This digital primary resource from British Online Archives allows you to see narrative accounts from missionaries combine with colonial statistics to create a picture of these former colonies' development. Learn how owners of an Antiguan sugar plantation adapted to emancipation, and witness the nature of missionaries' roles in the slave trade. It also includes the papers of the Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies, 1694-1709. Together, these collections reveal how governments, slave owners and missionaries shaped the development of these countries over three centuries.
