Roedd Oes Fictoria yng Nghymru yn gyfnod cynllun dadleuol William Hughes i fewnforio bechgyn du a merched o Affrica i Congo House ym Mae Colwyn. Yn dilyn hyfforddiant ymarferol ac addysg, mae William Hughes yn honni bod ymron i gant o'i fyfyrwyr wedi dychwelyd i Affrica i weithio, ond eto roedd y wasg yn feirniadol iawn o'r hyn a ddigwyddodd.
