Best Answer

The West India interest wanted slavery to be prolonged. When they became aware of the abolitionists' intentions to finally terminnate slavery, they drafted the amelioration bill. They did so to undermine the efforts of the abolitionists, forestall their anti-slavery movement and prolong slavery. They also drafted the bill because since the slave trade had come to an end, they were doing all they can to preserve slavery and to prevent revolts from happening in the British West Indies
