Draft Wilberforce

At the ripe age of 248 years young, William Wilberforce is the hottest political leader in the US. He has united people of all races, faiths and political beliefs with a new vision of leadership – marked by conviction, courage and the common good. Wilberforce leads with a spirit of civility and collaboration. From PETA to Focus on the Family, Americans are coming together to say “we need William Wilberforce today.”
William Wilberforce was born in Hull, England in 1759, and first elected to the House of Commons at the age of 21. During his time in Parliament, Wilberforce led the political battle to abolish slavery and its trade throughout the British Empire. He introduced numerous bills to Parliament in the 18th and early 19th centuries, all of which were defeated.
Wilberforce also believed in reforming greater society as well. His good works included lending his assistance to hospitals and prisons, preventing cruelty to animals and promoting positive reform in India and other colonies. He also founded what we know today as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
