Title:
2007 £2: Abolition of Slavery
Description:
In 1807, the Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade received Royal Assent and became a law throughout the British Empire. It was a result of a long Parliamentary campaign by an alliance of Evangelical Anglicans and Quakers led by William Wilberforce. The Act did not abolish slavery itself but was a major step towards recognising its damaging effects and led toward its complete abolition across the Empire in 1833.
