There are a number of different factors which led to the abolition of the slave trade, not just individual people:
- Actions of campaigners (e.g. William Wilberforce an MP, Olaudah Equiano a former slave and many more)
- Slave Rebellions and Revolts - slaves started to rebel (e.g. Haitians rebelled and Haiti became the first island to be governed by former black slaves)
- Economic - the slave trade lost its value. Because of the rebellions, it became harder for farmers to produce things the British wanted as usually, the slaves would burn the fields. This drove production prices up as there was not as much of the stuff to be sold. Eventually, people found cheaper ways to get their hands on what they wanted and places such as Cuba and Brazil had better prices for trading.
- Popular Protest- the public wrote many petitions to government/ parliament to make them change their laws
However, while these all are reasons for the abolition, many British people see William Wilberforce as the "main man"
