Life in the UK Test 38
What is the name given to the first formal anti-slavery groups set up in the late 1700s?
Correct Answer: Quakers
The Quakers (also known as the Religious Society of Friends) were among the first groups to formally organise against the slave trade in the late 1700s. Driven by their belief in the equality of all human beings, Quakers set up anti-slavery committees in the 1780s and played a central role in the abolitionist movement.
They worked alongside campaigners such as William Wilberforce and Olaudah Equiano to bring about the abolition of the slave trade in 1807 and the emancipation of enslaved people throughout the British Empire in 1833. The Quakers' organisational skills, including pamphlets, petitions and public meetings, laid the groundwork for modern campaigning techniques.
