It is a very interesting story on how he did it.

Gambia was the place from where most slave transports to the Americas started, so the ownership of its trading station was regularly and hotly disputed among Britain and France and the fort changed hands at least ten times. It was Britain that managed to hang on to it in the end. After Britain abolished the slave trade in 1807, it actively patrolled the west African coast to catch slave ships and free the slaves found there. They also worked hard to end slavery in Gambia (and elsewhere in Africa) by Africans themselves. But it took until 1906 until Gambia itself abolished slavery.

Who colonized the Democratic Republic of the Congo?
France and Belgium both colonized the Congo. The Belgian Congo was a colonial state from 1908 - 1960. French Congo was a state from 1880 - 1960. In the late 1950's and early 1960's, many Central and West African countries declared their independence from their colonizing rulers, and most of them changed the name of their country as well. But throughout most of Africa, the national language has remained either English (countries formerly ruled by England) or French (those countries ruled by the French or the Belgians). Most Africans also speak a tribal language as well, their mother tongue, but English and French are the languages of public education, the government, the workplace, and commerce.

Why did people want to colonize on the moon and mars?
After setting up a sustained colony, we could mine the resources to use as chemical rocket fuel. Create a refining complex for metals. We could create manufacturing facilities to transfer some of our launch needs from Earth to the moon. We could create launch sites, since it would be easier to reach escape velocity from the surface of the moon than the surface of Earth. Many, many things. Far more than I can think of with my limited imagination.
