This biography of England's heroic abolitionist commemorates the 200th anniversary of the ending of slavery in the United Kingdom
William Wilberforce (1759-1833) has been hailed as a one of society's great reformers. His great goal was the abolition of the slave trade and of slavery in England, and in Amazing Grace, the true story of his remarkable life and meaningful accomplishments leap off the page. Beginning with Wilberforce's religious conversion in 1784 that led him to a life of activism grounded in his deep Christian faith, this compelling historical biography chronicles his extraordinary contributions to the world, primarily his 20-year fight to abolish the British slave trade, a battle he won in 1807. He was also instrumental in passing legislation to abolish slavery in the British colonies, a victory achieved just three days before his death in 1833.
Wilberforce was a hero to Abraham Lincoln and an inspiration to the anti-slavery movement in America, and the account of his fight for social justice in Amazing Grace will help many more become reacquainted with this exceptional man.
Discover the story of the man Abraham Lincoln called a hero:
- Abolitionist Crusade: Follow Wilberforce's two-decade-long battle to abolish the British slave trade, a fight he finally won in 1807.
- Faith and Politics: Explore how his profound religious conversion in 1784 reshaped his political career, turning him from an ambitious politician into one of history's greatest social reformers.
- A Legacy of Freedom: Learn about the final legislative victory won just three days before his death and how his tireless work became an inspiration for the anti-slavery movement in America.
- The Clapham Circle: Go inside the influential community of like-minded reformers who met to strategize, pray, and plot the course for social change in the British Empire.
