Factors that led to abolition of slave trade?
Lots of things convinced parliament to bring this act into place, but I think that the most important factor was the two abolitionists, Thomas Clarkson and William Wilberforce. They travelled the country to collect evidence and visual aids to show to parliament and Thomas wrote a prize winning essay about whether slavery was right or wrong. This evidence was all used in Wilberforce's speech on the 12th May 1789. Wilberforce was a great influence on parliament as he was a high standing MP and was able to bring up very important points. Then after slavery was abolished in England they started pressurising other countries into abolishing slavery too.

Why did Great Britain stop the Revolutionary war?
Following the British surrender in Yorktown, Virginia, King George III wanted to continue the war. Great Britain stopped the Revolutionary War because William Pitt the Younger stood up in Parliament. He had large diagrams showing how much money the war was costing Great Britain and how much money Great Britain could possibly collect in taxes from the colonies. His figures showed that no way existed Great Britain could collect the taxes necessary to keep an Army in America. After listening to Pitt's speech, Parliament voted to withhold funds to continue the war. Without funds to pay for another army, Great Britain did not send over another army but signed a peace agreement.
