William Wilberforce played a significant role in the abolishment of slavery in England during the 1800s. He created petitions signed by hundreds of thousands of brits who believed in the abolishment of slavery, this petition was monumental in Wilberforce's success. Women also helped the abolishment of slavery in England. They worked a long side Wilberforce encouraging him to continue his work and demand more rights for these slaves. These women were the people who made the abolishment of slavery happen as fast as it did because they weren't content with "gradual abolition" which is what the house of commons granted Wilberforce.

What was the goal of the abolitionists in the 1800?

The goal of the abolitionists was to abolish (do away with) slavery as a legal institution in the US. The movement grew in the early 1800s partly as a result of the differing state laws. In the South, slavery was legal and supported labor-intensive agriculture. In the North, slavery was being phased out in favor of employing new immigrants, and agriculture was not the only economic activity.
