British Anti-Slavery Society

The British Anti-Slavery Society, established in 1823, was an organization dedicated to ending slavery and promoting human rights. It worked to raise awareness, influence legislation, and support abolition efforts within the British Empire and globally. The society included social reformers, activists, and religious leaders who believed slavery was morally wrong. It played a significant role in the abolition of slavery in most British colonies by advocating for legal changes and mobilizing public opinion. Its work contributed significantly to the global movement against slavery and the promotion of human dignity and equality.
