MizzE at the Gobsmacked Again blog brings to our attention an article in The Mail. It seems that Thomas Clarkson, not William Wilberforce, was the passionate driving force behind Britain's abolitionist movement. If you do not know what I am talking about, go see the movie Amazing Grace, but keep in mind that the truth is that Mr. Clarkson was the one who should be remembered as the foremost champion of the anti-slavery movement that ended the slave trade in Britain.
