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.
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.
