well.. members of parliament gathered information about the slave trade and the situations taking place on thee ships used to transport slaves. People learned of the terrible conditions that the African slaves had to endure and began to campaign against slavery. Then the groups seem to have grown and grown until they became a majority. Finally the Slave Trade act of 1807 was passed and it was officially abolished even though the slaves played a key role in the industrial revolution.

How did the white campaigners abolish slavery?
People like William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson were trying to persuade people to change their minds about the slave trade. However, they campaigned in different ways to different people. Thomas Clarkson was a member of 'The Society for the abolition of the Slave Trade' and he was also a member of parliament. He collected information about the slave trade and about the 'terrible conditions aboard the slave ships.' This included interviewing over 20,000 sailors. He used this information to persuade the working population about how bad the slave trade was. This then ignited protests against slavery across the country, and petitions were collected. In Manchester, over 10,000 people signed a petition in 1788 and 20,000 in 1792. By persuading the working population that slavery was a horrific thing, this forced Parliament and Mp's to abolish slavery. This is because they would want to do what the working population say and think so that they won't get voted out. This was a very effective way of helping to end slavery. Another white campaigner, William Wilberforce, the best, know member of the Society, was also an MP. He made many direct speeches to Parliament about the abolition of slavery. This led to the parliament being persuaded to end slavery and the Slave Trade Act was created in 1807 to abolish slavery in the British Empire, but not necessarily slavery itself. Slavery was still legal in the rest of the world until the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833. THEY WORKED TO ABOLISH THE "SLAVE TRADE".
