end slavery

Although the leadership of the Basel Mission strongly opposed slavery, missionaries in African countries sometimes had a different attitude. What role did Christian missions play in the international anti-slavery movement? Did their attitudes conflict with colonial authorities? And how did indigenous anti-slavery activists in Ghana position themselves on the abolition of slavery by the British colonial administration?
