The Dynamic Duo of the Anti-Slavery Movement Who Changed the World by Lawrence Reed

Recommendable! I was not really aware of the second man, i.e. Thomas Clarkson!

As I have said here before the American Civil War was not about ending slavery, but to prevent secession. As the article below describes so well, the British Empire effectively ended slavery already by 1838! So it was only a matter of time to for slavery to end in other parts of the world!

The Dynamic Duo of the Anti-Slavery Movement Who Changed the World - Foundation for Economic Education Thomas Clarkson and William Wilberforce, to their eternal credit, proved that even the most entrenched of laws and policies can be changed by people of courage, character and conscience.
