List of abolitionist forerunners

Thomas Clarkson (1760–1846), the pioneering English abolitionist, prepared a "map" of the "streams" of "forerunners and coadjutors" of the abolitionist movement, which he published in his work, The History of the Rise, Progress, and Accomplishment of the Abolition of the African Slave-Trade by the British Parliament published in 1808. The stylized map shows a riverine system with various branches representing the influences on the British and American abolition movements from before the seventeenth century to the late eighteenth century, which ultimately culminated in the British Parliament's passing of the Slave Trade Act.
