Question

how was william wilberforce, a member of parliament, able to affect the future of slavery in britain?
○ in 1833, he achieved a ban on the use of enslaved labor in factories.
○ in 1807, he achieved a ban on british slave trade.
○ in 1833, he was able to get reduced penalties for runaways.
○ in 1804, he was able to get an amendment passed abolishing slavery in most northern us states.

Explanation:

William Wilberforce was a key British abolitionist. The 1807 Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, which banned Britain's transatlantic slave trade, was a major achievement of his parliamentary efforts. Other options are incorrect: 1833 saw the Slavery Abolition Act (not factory labor bans), reduced penalties for runaways are unrelated to his work, and US state abolition is outside British context.

Answer:

B. In 1807, he achieved a ban on British slave trade.
