William Wilberforce was one of Britainâs great social reformers. In particular, William Wilberforce is remembered for his active participation in getting Parliament to outlaw the slave trade. He died in 1833, just three days before Parliament passed the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, which effectively banned slavery in the British Empire.
By Femi Lewis. The abolition of slavery began in 1688 when German and Dutch Quakers published a pamphlet denouncing the practice. For more than 150 years, the abolition movement continued to evolve and by the 1830s, both African-Americans and whites were fighting to end the institution of slavery in the United States. Prominent abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison said early in the 1830s, I will not equivocate...and I will be heard.. Garrison's words would set the tone for the transforming abolition movement, which would continue to build steam up until the Civil War.
