yeah B is correct.... "Thomas Clarkson was among the foremost British campaigners against both slavery and the slave trade"
"In his late 30's, Wilberforce married Barbara Spooner (also an evangelical Christian). He remained devoted to her throughout his life. Finally on 25th March, 1807, the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act abolished the Slave Trade in the British colonies. It was carried by 267 votes. The house rose to its feet and cheered wildly."
Okay! I knew he had something to do with the slave trade.
