Best Answer

William Wilberforce and Capt. John Newton (composer of the song Amazing Grace), who inspired England, France, Canada and other nations to give up slavery peacefully and end the horrible practice once and for all time. What a shame that William Wilberforce and Capt. John Newton could not influence the USA to give up slavery prior to the Civil War (1861 to 1865).

How did the southerners justify slavery?

Many things were used to justify slavery. One of the arguments was that without slavery the people who were slaves would be living in worse conditions. Another was that The Bible gave them permission to have slaves and that slavery had been accepted worldwide for thousands of years. Another excuse was that by making people slaves Christian souls were saved and that Northern factory workers were not as well off as slaves. That slavery was a positive good and that the slave owner could protect and guide the slaves. Finally, that the slaves were needed to do the work.
