An Appeal to the Religion, Justice, and Humanity of the Inhabitants of the British Empire

Focusing on the moral imperative to abolish slavery, Wilberforce addresses the British public's ignorance regarding the brutal realities of the slave trade. His appeal is rooted in deep religious conviction, as he condemns slaveholders for their lack of faith and urges his fellow citizens to act justly and humanely. By illuminating the horrors of slavery, he seeks to inspire a collective moral awakening and encourage support for the abolitionist movement, framing it as a demonstration of true faith and loyalty to God.
