1700s.

Organised campaigning and parliamentary debate began in the late 18th century (e.g. Quaker activism, the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade founded 1787, and William Wilberforce’s parliamentary campaign), leading to the Slave Trade Act of 1807 and full abolition in 1833.
