Slavery was accepted in Great Britain during the 1700s. Then at a meeting, John Wesley, Charles Wesley, William Cowper, and John Newton created the Anti Slavery Society. They would do this through sermons and hymns. John Wesley would translate hymns while the other three would write them. They would change the minds and hearts of Englishmen. People told them they were hitting their heads up against a brick wall. William the Conquerer had established slavery in 1066. That did not stop them. They kept it up. First, they made slavery illegal in England. Then they made it illegal throughout the British Empire.
That is not bad for four preachers who broke the law every time they stood up and preached! It was illegal to preach anywhere in England other than the pulpit of an official Anglican (Episcopalian) church.
