I would say Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman were two extremely important abolitionists of slavery. There were many others as well, but those two would be the main focus in my opinion.

well this person is right but i think that William Wilberforce and Thomas clarkson and equiano were also very very important. also Granville sharp. these people were main campaigners and researchers. Wilberforce led the campaign at the start, Thomas clarkson helped him and travelled the world to find information, equiano was an ex slave who could tell, from personal events, what happened to the slaves, him and clarkson also wrote books on the slave trade and did speaking tours of Britain. sharp did research and defended ex slaves in court, took captains of slave ships to court, was one of the first abolitionists. Don't forget the British people, who organized 2 huge sugar boycotts, signed loads of petitions and bought the books of equiano and clarkson. Hana (13)
