About This Item
1834 1st ed William Wilberforce Memoir anti SLAVERY Slave Abolition America
William Wilberforce was an 18th-century British politician who is best remembered for his role in helping abolish slave trade in the western world. His campaign to abolish slavery led to the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833, which inspired author Thomas Price to publish a memoir highlighting Wilberforce's role in the slavery abolition.
This 1834 first American edition of Price's 'Memoir' was published from the first London edition, printed in 1833. It was published in Boston in hopes of contributing to the end of slavery in the United States, which at the time, was still prominent in the South.
