== == I believe it is Hartford.
Prior to 1875, CT had two capitals: Hartford and New Haven.
It opened up the land to Anglos and Californios to trade with the states. It also was the route the army followed to invade Mexico during the Mexican American War.
Initially, a British group led by Edward Gibbon Wakefield were looking to start a colony founded on free settlement instead of convict labour. Unlike other colonies, where settlers were allocated free land according to their own assets, Wakefield suggested that the land be sold. Charles Sturt's discoveries that the Darling River flowed into the Murray, and that the Murray River flowed to the ocean, were significant, for they opened up huge tracts of land along the Murray River, and allowed for the development of paddle-steamer transportation of goods and passengers along Australia's inner waterways, between the colonies. Many of the free settlers who came to South Australia were of German origin (including other Germanic groups such as the Wendish and Prussians). Their primary reason was to escape the religious persecution in their own country. In the 1800s, under King Friedrich Wilhelm III, German/Prussian Lutherans suffered religious persecution. Friedrich Wilhelm was an autocratic king who believed he had the right to create his own state church from the two main Protestant churches - the Lutheran church and the smaller Reformed church - in a united Prussian state church. This would effectively remove the right of Lutherans to worship in a way of their choosing. Penalties for non-adherance to the state religion were severe. Many Lutherans immigrated to Australia to escape the persecution.
Other free settlers came because they discovered they could mine valuable metals. The Cornish and the Scottish came for this reason.

Converting people to Christianity.
It was more than that. In the North they did not establish any churches or attempt any "converts" this was because Fredrick Lugard would not allow them.
In areas where Islam dominated Christianity did not have much of an influence. Because Islam is more of a dominate religion.
However, one of the principle objectives were to attempt to remove the many and strong supersitions of Nigerians along with abolishing the many practices of Human sackrifices (sp). The Christians also wanted to impose Western morality on to the Nigerians in a false belief that their morality was superior to the Igbos, Yoruba or other Nations within the area of their control they named Nigeria. So Polygamous relationships needed controlling, the idea of the powerful market women who could earn more than their husband did not fit in with their Victorian view of a womans place in the home. Or the use of Christian names because the lazy missionaries could not pronounce the African names, in class.
The introduction of the Christian Missionary School CMS was also used to introduce Western Education to prepare Nigerians to modern ways of thinking and economy. Both Yoruba and Igbo nations embraced this as a way to advance themselves. In the run up independence the Northern States of Nigerian mainly Hausa and Fulani Muslim states found themselves at a disadvantage so the British fixed the 1st elections to ensure that the Islamic North had control over the rest of the Federation.
Initially the British run Nigeria as two separate states Northern = Islamic and Southern. Until they were merged in 1914. Ironically the British liked the Islamic model of government as it made their work easier to Adminster such a large area with very few Colonial Adminstrators on the ground. Utilizing the Islamic model served the British purposes as it reached a broader mass than having to convert the hetrogenous southern states of various traditional beliefs.
