520 1 $a"William Wilberforce, born to a prosperous family, chose a life of public service and adherence to Evangelical values over the comfortable merchant existence that was laid out for him. A formidable orator, campaigner and tactician, he spearheaded the twenty-year campaign to abolish the trade in slaves that was one of the great abominations of the eighteenth century. William Hague illuminates Wilberforce's turbulent life and career, offering a politician's insights into the parliamentary maneuvers and electoral dramas with which the abolitionist had to contend. He shows how Wilberforce's conviction and faith allowed him to hold fast to his independence and beliefs even in a time of war, revolution and social upheaval. And he demonstrates how the eradication of the slave trade paved the way for the abolition of slavery itself in the British Empire, a change enacted while Wilberforce lay dying in 1833."--BOOK JACKET.
