Did William wilberforce accomplish what he wanted to?

Answer 1

Yes, William Wilberforce accomplished his primary goal of abolishing the transatlantic slave trade in the British Empire. His tireless advocacy and leadership in the abolitionist movement culminated in the passage of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1807. Although he continued to fight against slavery until his death in 1833, the full abolition of slavery in the British Empire was achieved shortly after, in 1833, further solidifying his legacy as a key figure in the movement for human rights.
