Summary of Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery [Hardcover] [2007] (Author) Eric Metaxas

"Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery" is a compelling biography that captures the extraordinary life and achievements of William Wilberforce, a pivotal figure in the fight against slavery. Written by Eric Metaxas and published in 2007 to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the British slave trade, this book delves deeply into the twenty-year struggle led by Wilberforce to end this inhumane practice. His relentless advocacy not only led to the end of the slave trade in 1807 but also set the stage for the eventual abolition of slavery throughout the British colonies. Through his dedication, Wilberforce altered public perception, transforming slavery from a widely accepted institution to a universally recognized moral wrong. This biography, which served as a companion to the feature-length film "Amazing Grace," offers middle-school readers a detailed look into the life of a man whose legacy continues to inspire the global fight for racial justice. Dive into this narrative and explore how one individual's steadfast commitment can indeed change the world.
