English: Plate entitled "To the friends of Negro Emancipation", celebrating the abolition of slavery in the British Empire. (Having abolished the slave trade in 1807, popular interest in the issue of slavery declined. However, the revival of anti-slavery agitation, political reform campaigns at home and a massive slave rebellion in Jamaica in 1831 brought the issue to public notice. From 1830 the Anti-slavery Society campaigned for emancipation across all Britain’s colonies. An Abolition of Slavery Bill was eventually passed by parliament in 1833 with abolition set to take place in 1834. £22 million was paid to planters as compensation, although true freedom was not achieved until 1838.
