What did William Wilberforce Lord Shaftesbury Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill have in common?

<p>I haven't even looked this one up, but I'm guessing from the mention of Wilberforce that they all campaigned against slavery ? Did they all embrace Shaftesbury's and the Duke of Wellington's grand design for expanding the British Empire by taking over the vast lands of the failing Ottoman Empire (especially Syria, the Lebanon and the "Holy Land" ? ) Were they all also "utilitarian" (or "instentalist") in philosophy and politics ? Were they all considered "reformers" or "progressives" in their time ? Did they all embrace Bentham's monstrous "panopticon" as the new paradigm for prisons, hospitals, schools ? See Foucault on Bentham. And understand that the British Empire decided to abolish the international slave trade for purely practical reasons of material self-interest. <p>
