Question: When did the people who received strong support in Posen come to the area where Baptist missionaries were active in the anti-slavery movement?

Calls were also made for Polish recruits to desert from the Prussian Army—though these went mainly unheeded. In the Prussian province of Posen, with a large Polish population, there was strong support for the French and angry demonstrations at news of Prussian-German victories—a clear manifestation of Polish nationalist feeling. An alarming report on the Posen situation, sent to Bismarck on 16 August 1870, led to the quartering of reserve troop contingents in the restive province. The Franco-Prussian War thus turned out to be a significant event also in German–Polish relations, marking the beginning of a prolonged period of repressive measures by the authorities and efforts at Germanisation. <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> 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). 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. Elsewhere in the Americas, in the Caribbean in particular, Baptist missionaries took an active role in the anti-slavery movement. <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. 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. Belain sailed to the Caribbean in 1625, hoping to establish a French settlement on the island of St. Christopher (St. Kitts).
