Description
William Wilberforce is chiefly remembered as the reformer who campaigned for the abolition of the slave trade in England. He was at the heart of British politics for over forty years during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. He lived just long enough to see the passage of the act to emancipate all slaves in British territories.Tags
