He did have slaves, he was a slave trader. But when his ship was sinking and he started to drown, he prayed to God saying that if he didn't drown then he would stop being a slave trader, and free all of his slaves. He survived, made good on his promise, and supported the non-slave movements. But before this, of course he had slaves! He was a slave trader!
