I love this. I am a black female born and bred in the United Kingdom and I absolutely love this country and it's values. I recently got into a debate with my white classmate in uni about slavery. She said slavery originated in Britain, then I had to correct her and say that actually slavery was practiced by the entire world, mostly notably, before the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the ottoman empire did a number on many nations in the world, including Europeans and Asians and Africans.
That slave trade lasted for 1400 years, long before the transatlantic slave trade and was far more barbaric and cruel. And so I said I appreciate and honour this country for going against the status quo at the time, when almost every nation in the world practiced slavery as a normal part of life, and ending slavery on a global scale using Christian values that every man was made in the sacred and dignified image of God.
She seemed not too happy with this because I decided to defend HER ancestors and not just blindly agree, simply because I am black. I was so confused as to why she was so concerned with perpetuating the narrative that the white people are evil and all minorities are victims of them, considering she is white herself.
Interesting comment. Please tell your University friend that the Ancient Egyptians and Ancient Romans also had slaves.
Thank you for your educated and courageous comment. Nowadays, it can be dangerous to speak one's mind.
@@debrarenteria8167I blame Brexit.
@@gentlemanvontweed7147 not really, more democratic liberalism, which takes the free thought out of it's followers. It's a full on cult.
@@aleemahyasmin5982 Thanks to the work of British archeologists we now know that pre Ptolemaic Egypt, despite the claims of the Bible was not a slave-holding society.
I wish more people knew of William Wilberforce
He is like Abraham Lincoln but forgotten
There should be a bigger statue of him like the Statue of Lincoln
for a Tory, he was alrite 🙂

William Wilberforce
William Wilberforce was a remarkable man who achieved a moral stand for Britain and the world. The Abolition of Slavery.
I blame Brexit.
@@gentlemanvontweed7147 Blame your inflated EGO, brit, and those they allow it or feed it... Hopefully, it wont lead us to a ww3, and again humanity will blame the "beast", not its provoker the "brit"...
Wholeheartedly agree. I am only sorry that the documentary doesn’t touch on the post abolition period when tens of thousands of people from India were exported to the Caribbean to replace the slaves of the Atlantic trade. Slavery was not abolished in India until ‘1843.
If you are ever in Yorkshire come and visit the William Wilberforce museum in Hull his home city were he was born and served as MP.
He only freedom african slave trade later British used indian slaves labour to replace african slaves
The old Preacher John Newton that you mentioned was an interesting man. He lived a wicked life when he was young
He ran away to sea as a boy joining the Royal Navy. Later he deserted becoming a merchant seaman, then a Captain of a slave trading ship. At one stage he was enslaved by africans, but escaped from that.
He was converted to Christ during a storm when he feared for his life. After his salvation he became a Minister in the Anglican church , his writings and sermons had a major influence on Britain. He was a campaigner against slavery. He testified to Parliament for the abolition of Slavery where he described the degenerative effect that slavery had on both the Slave and the Slaver.
John Newton wrote the Hymn Amazing grace. It really was the story of his life.
An interesting potential story, from slaver to anti slavery campaigner
A person cannot sustain the passion and dedication it takes to succeed in this kind of decades-long mission, despite great health challenges, unless it comes from the heart. Wilberforce was a hero despite being a man of his time and culture.
Great and informative work as always. A great way to learn while at work. I appreciate the long form videos because it offer so much knowledge than a short video can do. Thank you People Profiles crew.
Another truly excellent video! I've learned so much from this. I think that William Wilberforce deserves every recognition for his dedication to the anti-slavery cause. His is a name that the proverbial everybody in the UK knows, but far too few know about his life and work. It's too easy for critics to attempt to rubbish the reputation of history's great achievers a century or more later while failing to recognise that such people are, after all, human like themselves and therefore not "perfect", whatever that means. We could do with an army of Wilberforces now who are not prepared to admit defeat regarding the enormous humanitarian and environmental challenges that face us.
Amen!!
Can you do videos on the following people? They include:
(1) Malcolm X
(2) Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu
(3) Ferdinand Marie de Lesseps
(4) Mayer Amschel Rothschild (and other members of the family)
(5) Theodor Herzl
(6) Meir Kahane
(7) Trajan, Emperor of Rome
There are others, but these ones are some of them that came to my mind.

Western Civilization is amazing.
Slavery has been (present tense emphasized) an ugly, entrenched dynamic of humanity and civilizations worldwide for eons.
The African slave trade began centuries before the nations of Europe joined in the practice, which had long been an established institution in the Arab world. Millions more went East to Arabia than went West to the New World... and the European colonies didn't make eunuchs out of their male slaves.
While slavery was a part of virtually every European nation's history, from Great Britain to Scandinavia to Rome to Greece, as far back along the timeline as we have documentation, it was only on the heels of the enlightenment that the recognition of this evil practice and the growth in sympathy was fostered and quickly spread for these innocent victims originating from this newly exploited source.
Sometimes I wonder how much longer it would have taken for the nations of Europe to take this revolutionary stance if the economic, societal, and military conditions were different in this age and the source for their slave stocks acquired to embark for their colonies was instead of Slavic, or Russian, or Central Asian origin instead of that of Africans, for whom the European people developed such a conscientious empathy for, which led to this transformational reckoning.
I honestly don't know if they hadn't followed in the steps of the Arabs, never sourcing their slaves from African merchants, that the call to end slavery would have happened in such a short period of time, relative to how long it had been an entrenched part of the human condition.
At that time slavery in eastern Europe was almost gone.
It sounds to me like you are trying to minimise the trans-atlantic slave trade by generalising thr subject of slvery. Im sorry to tell you but no slavery comes close to what the tran-atlantic slave trade did. I dont agree europeans should be shunned for what the forefathers did but whrn i see people like you trying to minimise what they did, its extremely desingenuous and an attempt to absolce what Britain did. Dont do that mate and accept that the tran-atlantic was the worst holocaust to happen to this earth with belgian congo a close second and the thr nazi holocaust.
@@randommthrfkr6568 are you joking? Germans killed more than black ppl were transported to South or North America.
It wasn't even a holocaust.
Doesn't help to lie to make a point
It was indeed a great achievement.Had he lived on for some more years, Wilberforce would have been appalled when the plantation owners simply replaced slaves with another form of slavery - Indentured Labour. Instead of black africans it was people of other colurs from India and China.
"His daughter Lizzy caused deep concern when she fell in love with a West-Indian slave holder". Oh, Lizzy!
After watching the first historical story in this chanel I have loved each and every story and have learned a lot from this. They have always kept me busy and occupied. I recommend this chanel for anyone who loves to listen to history or about the past and what happened ❤❤❤❤❤( much love, and watching from Kenya 🇰🇪)
We are classmates brother. From America
I have a similar experience. I have been looking for a good channel on world history and I think I found one.
Thank you for this excellent documentary. I was taught my history in the late 20th century when the work of Wilberforce was downplayed, so i missed knowing about the work of this tenacious man. Your documentary is so satisfactory in that it is aimed at those who appreciate a deeper approach to historical narration. Thank you.
This video should be made part of American education of the African slave trade
Blessed are the righteous
They aren't so blessed now. I think they regret it.
Anyone, regardless of position or nation who stands up against slavery is a good person. There is a film about William called Amazing Grace. It is well worth watching
Thank-you to the produces of this video. In my opinion, William Wilberforce. Is one of the greatest individuals who ever lived. As an African-American, he is and will always be, one of my best heroes. I also thank other abolitionists who kept the faith, and fought along side of him. To help pass legislation to abolish slavery throughout the British empire.
*One of the true great heroes of history.*
A hero for you, a villain for people who now have to live with these people.
There are bad eggs across ALL demographics, more in some than in others granted but lumping them all together solves nothing.@@guyfawkes8384

Wow. Great video. This really shows the creativity, commitment, and the dedication it takes to make a video on par with this one.
Think about how many years and dedication of William Wilberforce to change history for his country.
Never heard of the man but now that I have I am very glad to know. He had such an impact on the world yet little did I know. Thank you very much for your teaching.
What an excellent film. I was completely absorbed and while I've known about William Wilberforce from my school days, it was a small amount on the actual man, compared to this in-depth study of him. Beautiful photography, dreamy views of the sea and seeing how beautiful Britain is with the aerial views. The pity is so little was done for the British poor, who in many ways were treated as slaves too in the factories they toiled. As for those that had no job or no house, the terrible photos shown in Utube documentaries say it all. Thank you for this. I didn't think it long or tedious at all. I'm proud Britain brought this about first.
If you are ever in Yorkshire come and visit the William Wilberforce museum in Hull his home city were he was born and served as MP.
This is why I'm proud to be British
Yeah, just look at how wonderful your country is now! I believe Muhammed is your number one baby name now? lol

wilber force is amazing!!!!
I think my family has a portrait of Wilburforce and the frame says Sir Thomas Lawrence. They received it from his roommate at Yale in 1949. His parents were Loughborough and mother was Van Arsdale. I’m having it authenticated. Interesting program.
The Sugarbeet the German invent helped to decrease sugarcane plantation system. Napoleon brought the sugarbeet and the sugarbeet industry from Germany in 1801. In 1830 France became the bigest sugar producer in the World from sugarbeet. France lost Haiti in 1804 and the few little Caribian islets and Reunion in the Indian Ocean were little interest for France so France abolished the slavery in 1848. I think the sugarbeet industry had big role to decrease the slavery system, a lot of European nations began to produce sugar from sugarbeet to avoid the imported sugarcane sugar. Only the cotton became the main slavery system economical support in the Southern USA.
Most definitely a hero who fought the long fight to end slavery. Seemingly a bit naive and trusting at times I do believe his heart was in the right place. he understood that the long fight was worth it.
Wonderful man , wish everyman in the world was like this , we would live in a far nicer world ...RIP to a great great man!!! xxxxxxx
Incredible video. This really shows the creativity, hardwork, and the dedication it takes to make a video as good as this one! You guys are amazing!
Credit where its due, not likely to get the respect he should from our current batch of new citizens.
Wilberforce first got involved in the slave trade by designing a more efficient way to stack slaves to maximise profits and prevent loss during voyages, he did become an advocate of abolishing the slave trade.. a common enough incidence as the more people saw of slavery they wanted to change the cruel trade.. but as usual the British abolished slavery in British trade, and mostly the blind nelsonoian eye to the driving triangular trade ,brummagum rubbish and inferior firearms to the barracoons of the blight of Benin, slaves from there to Cuba and molasses and cotton back to Liverpool.. immense wealth ,and enormous hypocrisy.. CETERUM CENSEO IMPERIUM BRITANNIUM DELENDUM EST SUPPORT UKRAINE FREE AND AT PEACE
"In the fall"! In England we say Autumn!
The "Fall" is actually of old English origin, but went out of fashion be replaced generally by autumn (French). Fall was taken to America by the English colonists where it continues to be used. There are many words, like 'Gear', that crossed the Atlantic - went out of fashion in England - and returned later!
kept on buying slave-raised cotton tho and leveraged that slave labor into the industrial revolution, beginning with the textile industry
This was very good. Most Americans, at least of my generation, have a great admiration and respect, and affection too, for people and things British. However, we don't know enough UK history. This video is very helpful and interesting. Thank you.
It`s a shame your president doesn`t feel the same way as he appears hellbent on starting a civil war in Northern Ireland.
@@justonecornetto80 I don't know what you're talking about. Fill me in and I'll look into it. Thanks.
@@grantsmythe8625 No problem. This is a complicated issue but I`ll try to be as brief as possible!
The Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998 which ended the 30 year conflict between the British state, Loyalist paramilitary groups and their Irish republican paramilitary counterparts. The negotiations were chaired by Senator George Mitchell acting as a neutral arbiter on behalf of the US government.
The major terms of the agreement were that the nationalist and Unionist political parties in Northern Ireland would enter into a power sharing arrangement with largest party from each tradition appointing a first minister to lead a joint devolved government. The UK government in turn agreed to demilitarise the border in Northern Ireland with the Irish republic in return for the Irish republic dropping its territorial claim to Northern Ireland enshrined in its constitution. The main clause of the agreement however is what is known as the principle of consent which states that the constitutional status of Northern Ireland as part of the UK cannot be altered without the consent of its population via referendum.
The only guarantors of the agreement appointed were the British and Irish governments. Period. (Remember this sentence for later)
In 2016, the population of the UK voted to leave the European Union but this created a problem with the Irish border because of EU laws regarding customs checks on goods entering its territory.
When the UK began negotiating its post divorce trade agreement with the EU, the EU`s external affairs commissioner Phil Hogan (an Irishman) on behalf off the Irish government started applying pressure on the EU`s chief negotiator Michel Barnier to demand that no customs checks be applied at the Irish border and that they be performed at ports of entry in NI, something which would be a flagrant violation of the Good Friday Agreement as it would alter Northern Ireland`s status as part of the UK and in turn undermine the Act of Union 1800 which states that each component nation of the UK must be on an equal legal footing with the others. Reluctantly however after several months of blackmail and threats from the EU, the UK government agreed to it on the proviso that it could be altered if it damaged economic links between NI and the rest of the UK. This proviso was known as Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Now this is where the US comes back into it.
After checks on goods moving from the British mainland into NI began in 2021, it was quickly discovered that the EU were clearly trying to destabilise trade between the two by applying strict entry criteria that were not used in continental European ports or agreed to by the UK government and this included goods that were never destined to even enter the EU. As it was apparent that the Irish government and the EU were attempting an economic annexation of NI, the UK government suspended all checks to address the growing anger of the Unionist population who suspected that a united Ireland was being imposed on them by stealth. It even came to a point where the Loyalist paramilitary groups the UDA and UVF issued a joint statement threatening a return to war unless the NI Protocol was scrapped.
At 3am the next morning, the Irish ambassador in Washington called Nancy Pelosi and lied to her by telling her that the UK had violated the Good Friday Agreement. She in turn later went before the world`s press repeating that lie and made insulting threats toward the UK without even speaking to the British ambassador who would have clearly pointed out legality of the UK`s actions.
Joe Biden then entered the fray by saying that the US wouldn`t "allow" the Good Friday Agreement to fail as if he he actually had a say in the matter! The reality is that GFA was never under any threat at the British end, it was the EU ignoring GFA with the connivance of the Irish government and the agreement it negotiated with the UK, yet Biden then went on to make rambling statements about the Irish famine and coffin ships like it had anything to do with the 21st century. This was followed by the US House of Representatives issuing a declaration that it wouldn`t ratify a trade agreement between the US and UK unless the British agreed to undermine their own territorial integrity in order to sooth the hurt feelings of the Irish government and EU. As you can imagine, the Unionists by this stage were ready to walk away from GFA completely, something that would have sent the whole of Ireland up in flames. Biden still persisted however by sending Congressman Richard Neal to Ireland where he called Unionists "planters" which is a highly derogatory term for Irish and Ulster Protestants and also questioned British sovereignty over NI. He may as well of put an IRA beret on and held a fundraiser for Sinn Fein. Biden then added even more fuel to the fire by turning up in NI and insulting our Prime Minister by ignoring his official greeting. He then had his motorcade travel through NI`s streets without displaying its national flag as is customary per international diplomatic protocol. The final insult was leaving Joe Kennedy behind as his "envoy", somebody who comes from a family that said the British should have surrendered to the Nazis and Unionists should be ethnically cleansed from Ireland.
This is no way to treat an ally, especially one that stood by the US through Afghanistan and Iraq while the EU (including the Irish republic) were calling you warmongers and murderers.
No he doesn't what rubbish. If you are ever in Yorkshire come and visit the William Wilberforce museum in Hull his home city were he was born and served as MP. @@justonecornetto80
Great stuff, although I would have liked just a mention of Wilberforce's efforts and success of get the poor off gin and rather onto more healthy beer.
Should do Granville Sharpe he was an avid abolishonist
Yet Generation Z would still tear down his statue and brand him as a salve trader.😮
Slavery is ancient. Joseph was sold into slavery and ended up in Egypt. He overcame by faith in the Hebrew God. Slavery is also only in our mind. This life is short for all. Choose today whom you will serve.
one of the greatest brits ever to exist period. amazing grace
Thank you for putting this together. I completely enjoyed it and am very moved by all that has been accomplished
Now let’s get rid of slavery and sex traffic 🙏✝️🙏
I once read that WW voted against the abolition of child labour . Anyone know the detail of this ?
I prefer the updated version “William Wilberforce, My Nigga”
LoL
Funny, but it's really disgusting that the present generation of blacks is almost completely ignorant of what their ancestors fought for: to not have to hear language like that. I teach NJROTC. I heard "nigga" fall from the lips of one of my high school girls (from Africa, not the hood). I quietly leaned over by her and whispered to her: "My wife is black. She would not appreciate that language, and neither do I." (I'm white.) Crickets. I could sense the embarrassment. The rap/hip-hop sewer culture is infesting even the youngest who know nothing of the civil rights movement.
Excellent presentation video , very clear voice , informative and I have learned so much .
Can you please do Antonio Salazar or any other figure from Portugal's history? Love your stuff!
The book "Capitalism And Slavery" by Hon. Eric Williams, Trinidad and Tobago Oxford Scolar, historian, economist, Govenor and Prime Minister explains how the profits of the slave trade and plantation economy funded the industrial revolution and how the industrial revolution and burgeoning capitalism made slavery less profitable as an economic model.
The capitalists and industrialists funded the abolitionist movementbpyrely for economic reasons, Wilberforce was their lead lobbyist.
A true champion of Abolition....the man would not give up advancing the cause of abolition. He kept pressing on toward his goal inspite of deteriorating health and setbacks sometimes from even his own freinds. He just kept at it until he succeeded. He deserves a lot more recognition for his efforts. In my opinion, one of the most influential people in history. Life well lived.
There is a hbcu ( historically black colleges and universities) called Wilberforce university in Wilberforce, OH named after him it’s a beautiful campus
Love the channel. This vid is particularly well done.
I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THIS MAN AND ALL THOSE WHO HAD A SENSE OF MORAL RIGHT AND SPIRITUAL COMMITMENT TO STAND FAST IN THEIR CONVICTIONS OF GOD'S GRACE GIVEN TO ALL MEN., THAT ALL ARE CREATED BY GOD TO GLORIFY GOD WITH THEIR LIVES. MAY GOD ALMIGHTY RAISE UP MORE LIKE THIS MAN TO FIGHT THE EVIL OF HUMAN TRAFFICING. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS BIOGRAPHY.
Thank you for telling us the truth about Slavery,I did learn this at School very interesting.
Excellent documentary 👏!
Love your content guys! Please consider otto von bismarck🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Very Instructive, Bravo !
Thank you for history we were NEVER taught.❤
I was taught about this at junior school.
WW life's work and as a Methodist inspires my Christian faith. I am very proud how WW changed the world.
Yayyy a Hulls famous son 🌟
Let us be more like Wilberforce
Thank you very much for this amazing documentary!
An English man of his time. When someone calls it and sees it for what it is, racism AND xenophobia? Environment is key. Aren't there some things only your real loving and in love parents can teach you? Lived experiences hay?
This man is a hero. A truly inspiring story. I am so moved that I am getting teary-eyed. Unfortunately, here in Canada, they are not teaching the abolition of the Slave Trade, and Slavery. Instead, they are importing the problems from the USA, which is not even part of Canadian history.
Excellent documentary, certainly needed to be part of the PeoplesProfile series. I am ambivalent about Wilberforce. I am suspicious about "activists", with a view to the modern day variety, but there's no doubt slavery was an evil and Britain more than any other nation at the time was the leader in its abolition. (1:23:00)
Jesus said “Beware when all men speak well of thee!” Bravo on making this video! William Wilberforce willing to stand & speak for the less fortunate & change lives for the better.
Charles Fox ❤ foreign secretary later Lord. He made a bet with the opposition. Free tickets to the races if he lost. Which he did. While the oppression where enjoying there selves. Wilburforce forced threw the bill to stop the transportation of slaves on British flagged ships. The start of the end of slavery.❤❤
For Mrs Wright, I hope Leeds Rhinos are doing well and thank you for teaching us in year 6. 💓
This was interesting
Interesting John Brown was also deep religiouse as Wilbeforce.
😊Thanks and Enjoy great performance 💛💯👍✌🌷☕🍪
A force to be reckoned with. Few have changed world history as he has.
I never heard of this man, but once again this channel shines a light on figures that have made an impact on humankind.
p.s please do a bio on that Walpole fellow.
I may name my next dog “Wilberforce” 😅
Used to hold meetings in the falcon pub Clapham
Thanks.
The concept of the wealthy, privileged ‘do-gooder’ (to use the English phrase is fascinating to me) is really fascinating. But they seem a uniquely European idea - even today. Are there examples elsewhere in history of prominent non European examples?
Oh no your ruining the business of race grifters.
His biggest mistake allowing missionaries to India , They done more harm then the previous two hundred years of the East India Company.

After all what I did for you people, is that how you treat my child.
Absolutely brilliant once again. Thankyou

Sooo .. I just watched this whole thing and realized this has nothing to do with Charlotte’s Web.
We were Republicans
“He was said to be an exceptionally ugly young man but was exceedingly popular with students…” great thing to put on his headstone - ‘Exceptionally Ugly but popular..’
That cracked e up! Lol
This is a very interesting piece, but made quite annoying by the narrator's pronunciation of the word 'Parliament'. Nobody pronounces the 'i' in 'parliament'.
It`s called received pronunciation or "the Queen`s English". Chances are the narrator attended English public school.

I don’t think that’s true.
@@kaesmith2893 Look at the thumbnail silly.
Although William Wilberforce deserves continued recognition for his efforts, it’s imperative that we all remember that the international slave trade is the natural born son of imperial Britain. Much if not most of the empire was built from the bones,blood and lives of African slaves . That fact should not be expunged from history.
Anything to say on the Africans who sold their own people? THAT fact should not be expunged from history.
I've never heard so much rubbish 😂
Britain was very, very late to the slave trade
Haiti, as an independent country, abolished slavery many years before Britain did.
Haiti was a slave colony that revolted though so... You know.
That’s worked out for them very well.
@@cenote100 At least they tried. Haiti has serious problems.
@@davea6314 that has beneficial as “hope and change”
From a country of people that still hold in high regard, Papa Doc.
There’s no chance for that country !
@@cenote100 There is always a chance for Haiti to improve. It may not happen for a few decades.
There is only so long we could carry on trying to educate, cloth , feed and teach them about democracy to the ungrateful heathens .
Although the British and the Western world are often credited with abolishing slavery, it was actually the African king Sundiata Keita who first proclaimed the abolition of slavery in the 11th century. Keita's proclamation, known as the Manden Charter, prohibited the sale of slaves and was in effect long before the first European explorers arrived in Africa. One question that remains is why Europeans continued to take slaves even after Keita's proclamation.
Britain is such a beautiful country that shaped and taught the world, every country is Britain's child! Oh how we fought to teach others how to behave, we made north America, Australia,india, Africa basically every country and i love the way everyone loves Britain especially as its such aan underdog being so small! Americans are basically British
So glad we freed them. They have been nothing but productive members of society since.
Hes not relatable
