The paper seeks to identify the reasons why the 18th century colonisers attempted to convert the natives to Christianity, arguing whether they wanted to educate and civilise the people they captured or whether they wanted to state their power and identity on the lands they conquered. The arguments are based on ‘Robinson Crusoe' by Daniel Defoe and ‘The interesting narrative of the life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustas Vassa, the African' by the African author Olaudah Equiano
