On this episode of Our American Stories, William Wilberforce was not a soldier, but he fought one of history’s fiercest battles. From the floor of Parliament, he challenged the powerful slave trade that enriched Britain while enslaving millions. For decades, he introduced bills, built alliances, and spoke against slavery until the tide finally turned. The abolitionist movement he led brought an end to the British slave trade in 1807 and helped pave the way for full emancipation in 1833. Best-selling author Eric Metaxas shares the remarkable story of Wilberforce, the man who stirred a nation’s conscience and proved that moral courage can change the course of history.
