The task that the slaves failed to accomplish was taken up and successfully completed by a group of abolitionists including humanitarians, members of a religious sect called Quakers and some industrialists. These included men like Granville Sharpe, Thomas Clarkson, William Wilberforce and Thomas Buxton
In 1823 abolitionists decided to restart the battle against slavery, and this time they were prepared to withdraw only after the final victory of emancipation had been won. A new abolition society, The London Society for the Mitigation and gradual abolition of slavery, was formed in 1823. By this time, Thomas Buxton was the chief parliamentary spokesman on slavery.He was assisted in the House of Commons by Zachary MacCaulay, Dr. Lushington, and in the House of lord by Lord Suffield. The society attracted widespread supports so that within a year, there were 220 branches opened in cities and towns throughout Britain.
They achieved this by:1 house-to-house lobbying. 2.launching a poster campaign, highlighting the need for emancipation 3. ministers of religion were encouraged to use the pulpit to advance the cause of the movement. 4.hundreds of petitions with large numbers of signatures were sent to parliament.Non-conformist missionaries helped to enhance the movement when they informed the British public about slave uprisings and plater reprisals. 5. they sent many bills to parliament.
All these factors helped to push the movement for emancipation which was granted in 1834
