Ricki Is Not A Wizard Tarr (npub19zu…0jum)
I was born in Hull, where the William Wilberforce was from and where the Wilberforce museum is.
My mum took me there when I was quite young and it had a profound effect on me.
The abolitionist movement in Britain was originally started by some of the Quakers.
Wilberforce was persuaded to join and then lead, the movement a few years later.
I don't know about trickery, but there was plenty of work done in parliament by the abolitionists (including Pitt the Younger) over a period of several years prior to slavery in Britain being abolished.
