In this week of the Atlas Intellectuals course on Slavery we cover the great William Wilberforce on the Abolition of Slave Trade. Wilberforce (1759-1833) was a British statesman, Anglican, and the leading force behind the 1807 abolition of the slave trade and the 1833 abolition of slavery in Great Britain.
“The Slave Trade is the greatest practical evil that ever had afflicted the human race.” Its effects reach into all levels of all societies. It is immoral, inhumane, and impractical.
