description: "John Gibson Paton, born in Scotland, was a Protestant missionary to the New Hebrides Islands of the South Pacific.

He advocated strongly against a form of slavery, which was called \"Blackbirding\", that involved kidnapping the natives and forcing them to work in New Zealand and elsewhere."
