A Letter on the Abolition of the slave trade, Addressed to the Freeholders and Other Inhabitants of Yorkshire, by William Wilberforce. London, 1807. Edited and introduced for the web by Dan Graves. William Wilberforce was a parliamentarian and man-about-town when he became convinced of the truth of Christianity. Upon his conversion, he thought he should withdraw from parliament, but pastor John Newton, author of the beloved hymn âAmazing Graceâ convinced him otherwise.
In 1826, Wilberforce moved from his large house in Kensington Gore to Highwood Hill, a more modest property in the countryside of Mill Hill, north of London, where he was soon joined by his son William and family.hey persuaded Wilberforce to take on the cause of abolition, and he soon became one of the leading English abolitionists. He headed the parliamentary campaign against the British slave trade for twenty years until the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807.
