"William Wilberforce Abolition Speech
Here are some inspiring William Wilberforce facts about the abolition speech!
Wilberforce's abolitionism was influenced by his conversion to evangelical Christianity in the late 1700s. John Newton, who was a previous slave trader and he also had converted and was a pastor for Wilberforce's church and he became his spiritual counselor.
Wilberforce was a vocal and unwavering proponent of anti-slavery laws in the House of Commons. He sponsored 12 anti-slavery motions and delivered one of the compelling speeches in the House of Commons, according to numerous publications at the time during the 1780s.
The motions had the support of William Pitt, Charles Fox (who was usually the rival of William Pitt), etc. However, they were not enacted into law; therefore, the problem was postponed until the following parliamentary session.
William Wilberforce emphasizes the importance of what he is discussing in the opening portion of his speech. Not only for the people he is addressing but also for their children and their children's children. He admits that he is 'both afraid and anxious about my own ineptitude' but that he would strive to overcome this because of the gravity of the situation. Wilberforce continued to make his case. He advocates for the 'complete elimination of slavery.'
Wilberforce discusses the slave trade in the second half of his address. He begins by describing the actual hardships that enslaved people faced while traveling the middle passage on British ships. The very few lines in which Wilberforce recounts the conditions aboard these ships in some detail, particularly the situation known as tight packing, directly appeal to listeners' emotions. Emotional appeals contrast his past pronouncements, in which he claimed that his arguments would be based on logic rather than emotion. However, he uses emotional appeals in the second half of the speech, and he does it well.
Despite all the reasons made by this Liverpool merchants' delegation, Wilberforce asserts in the final lines of his impassioned speech that the slave trade must be abolished, regardless of the economic ramifications. This is because what is going on is 'so massive, so terrible' that it can't go on. It goes against humanity's nature or, at the very least, humanity's inherent desire to feel compassion for the pain of humanity.
On July 26, 1833, the House of Commons passed the Slavery Abolition Act. Wilberforce died three days later. His final resting place is at the Westminster Abbey."

People take it for granted, without thinking, that an influx of 'black' slaves to America or Europe will be of benefit to a 'white man' and so the latter man has not other motive behind termination of such, other than having higher moral values. This view falls down on close extermination that the capitalism which was an hold over from feudalism rendered land owners and factory owners few (perhaps even 1%) and the rest of 'white men' must seek employment from the capitalist. So influx of slaves would either leave a 'white man' with no job or be forced to be a slave too! Furthermore, the continued influx of slaves would irrevesably change the demographics of America etc, making it a 'black-majority' country! So slave trade had to be stopped for the sake of 'white man' and his future, not the other way round!
Anybody can be 'black' or 'white' depending on where they live on earth. A Palestinian in U.S. is a 'black' person, and so 'his life matter' there, but holus bolus, in Israel, he is a 'white man', and the so called 'left' person now don't care about the lifes of the Palestinian!!
The modern world like to dwell on an allegedly evil past, eg slavery, colonialism etc as if we are living in a different moral standard in modern times. We are not!
"Moreover, we abolished slavery in 1833, three decades before America..And policed the high seas, fighting the slave trade of other colonial powers, including America, France, Holland, Spain and Portugal...As well as middle eastern and African slavers.."

More accurately:
"Moreover, we abolished slavery in 1833, three decades before America..And (USED THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO) police the high seas, fighting the slave trade of other colonial powers, including America, France, Holland, Spain and Portugal...As well as middle eastern and African slavers.."
In other words Britain attempted to asurp the 'world policeman' role in the guise of 'fighting slave trade' just like U.S. attempts to do so in the guise of 'fighting terrorism' or 'spreading democracy'. This is why we condemn Britain.
U.S.(often in company of Britain) uses 'fight for communism', 'fight of terrorism' and 'spread of democracy' to justify every kind of wickedness around the world. Why did they help to install Mobutu or even Saddam? Guess what? this was 'necessary evil' to fight communism! Why create al-Qaida? again 'to fight communism'. Why help Israel for apartheid against Palestinians? 'to fight Hamas', which 'is a terorist group'.
You might have also noticed that everyone who does not serve U.S.'s interests is either a 'terrorist', an 'authoritarian', a 'communist', a 'state sponsor of terrorism' or 'in the communist sphere of influence'. Thus houthis are 'terrorists'. Talibanis are 'terrorists', mau mau (at then) were 'terrorists' IRGC are 'terrorists'. Russia is 'a state sponsor of terrorism'. Phew!
Thus I don't need lots of past, possibly corrupted his-story to question the sudden benevolence in British alleged 'policing the world' to end 'slave trade'. We know how governments works, as seen in modern world. We don't need history at all! His-story only creats room for more lies and more propaganda. If we cannot agree on what is going on NOW in Ukraine, what can we agree about in 1800s?
Note the excellent organist skills of Elske and I especially enjoy the forceful majesty of the fugue....Something of a musical force majeure....👏🏻😊🎵

The ignorant left do not realise that the UK is a Constitutional Monarchy, not an Absolute Monarchy...and there is a difference, when it comes to national budgeting and control of the exchequer...

Don lemon, of CNN, made a complete ass of himself recently, when he suggested this anti-British talking point, in an interview with an informed royal scholar, WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS HISTORY......lol😇 Something these woke people are not used to ...
