Question: When did the people who captured Malakoff come to the region where Baptist missionaries took an active role in the anti-slavery movement?

For months each side had been building forward rifle pits and defensive positions, which resulted in many skirmishes. Artillery fire aiming to gain superiority over the enemy guns. :450–462 September saw the final assault. Meanwhile, the British captured the Great Redan, just south of the city of Sevastopol. The Russians retreated to the north, blowing up their magazines and the city fell on 9 September 1855 after a 337-day-long siege. On 5 September, another French bombardment (the sixth) was followed by an assault by the French Army on 8 September resulting in the capture of the Malakoff by the French, and following their failure to retake it, the collapse of the Russian defences. :106 <SEP> In Jamaica, for example, William Knibb, a prominent British Baptist missionary, worked toward the emancipation of slaves in the British West Indies (which took place in 1838). Elsewhere in the Americas, in the Caribbean in particular, Baptist missionaries took an active role in the anti-slavery movement. Knibb also protagonised the creation of "Free Villages"; rural communities centred around a Baptist church where emancipated slaves could farm their own land. Baptists were likewise active in promoting the education of former slaves; for example, Jamaica's Calabar High School, named after the slave port of Calabar, was formed by Baptist missionaries. At the same time, during and after slavery, slaves and free formed their own Spiritual Baptist movements - breakaway spiritual movements which often expressed resistance to oppression. <SEP> leading up to the american civil war, baptists became embroiled in the controversy over slavery in the united states. whereas in the first great awakening, methodist and baptist preachers had opposed slavery and urged manumission, over the decades they made more of an accommodation with the institution. they worked with slaveholders in the south to urge a paternalistic institution. both denominations made direct appeals to slaves and free blacks for conversion. the baptists particularly allowed them active roles in congregations. by the mid-19th century, northern baptists tended to oppose slavery. as tensions increased, in 1844 the home mission society refused to appoint a slaveholder as a missionary who had been proposed by georgia. it noted that missionaries could not take servants with them, and also that the board did not want to appear to condone slavery. <SEP> historians trace the earliest church labeled baptist back to 1609 in amsterdam, with english separatist john smyth as its pastor. in accordance with his reading of the new testament, he rejected baptism of infants and instituted baptism only of believing adults. baptist practice spread to england, where the general baptists considered christ's atonement to extend to all people, while the particular baptists believed that it extended only to the elect. in 1638, roger williams established the first baptist congregation in the north american colonies. in the mid-18th century, the first great awakening increased baptist growth in both new england and the south. the second great awakening in the south in the early 19th century increased church membership, as did the preachers' lessening of support for abolition and manumission of slavery, which had been part of the 18th-century teachings. baptist missionaries have spread their church to every continent. <SEP> Pierre Belain d'Esnambuc was a French trader and adventurer in the Caribbean, who established the first permanent French colony, Saint - Pierre, on the island of Martinique in 1635. In 1626 he returned to France, where he won the support of Cardinal Richelieu to establish French colonies in the region. Belain sailed to the Caribbean in 1625, hoping to establish a French settlement on the island of St. Christopher (St. Kitts). Richelieu became a shareholder in the Compagnie de Saint - Christophe, created to accomplish this with d'Esnambuc at its head. The company was not particularly successful and Richelieu had it reorganized as the Compagnie des Îles de l'Amérique. In 1635 d'Esnambuc sailed to Martinique with one hundred French settlers to clear land for sugarcane plantations.
