Sample Book Insights:

#1 Wilberforce was born into a wealthy merchant family in Hull, England. The city was the fourth-largest port in England, but it was the only one that did not participate in the slave trade.

#2 Wilberforce was a child who was extremely bright and extremely sickly. He was enrolled at the Hull Grammar School in 1766, when he was seven, and he would visit his grandfather, who had removed to the bucolic village of Ferribly, on the Humber, seven miles away.

#3 When Joseph and Isaac were teaching at the Hull School, their youngest brother, William, was sent away to live with his uncle and aunt in Wimbledon. He was eight years old, and his mother had just given birth to another daughter.

#4 Wilberforce’s new guardians were extremely wealthy. They had a magnificent home in London, in St. James’s. Wilberforce was now ten, and they enrolled him at the Putney School, which was not particularly distinguished.
