True. The first organized group to advocate for the abolition of the slave trade was the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade, founded in 1787 in Britain. This group, which included prominent figures such as Thomas Clarkson and Granville Sharp, played a crucial role in raising awareness and mobilizing public opinion against the slave trade, ultimately leading to its abolition in 1807.

The abolition movement in Britain began in the late 18th century primarily due to growing moral and humanitarian concerns about the inhumanity of the transatlantic slave trade. Influential groups like the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade, formed in 1787, mobilized public opinion through petitions, pamphlets, and public meetings. Additionally, the Enlightenment's emphasis on individual rights and freedom played a crucial role in challenging the justifications for slavery. These efforts culminated in the passing of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1807.
