William Wilberforce was a British politician and philanthropist who campaigned tirelessly for the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire. John Newton, a former slave ship captain turned abolitionist, influenced Wilberforce with his personal account of the brutality of the slave trade. Together, their efforts led to the passing of the Slave Trade Act of 1807, which abolished the transatlantic slave trade in the British Empire.
The four dramas used in "The Slave Ship" by Marcus Rediker are the drama of the enslaved, the drama of the sailors, the drama of the captains and investors, and the drama of the abolitionists and resistance. These dramas help to provide a multifaceted view of the transatlantic slave trade and its impact on various groups involved.
Prince Henry's view on slavery changed over time from initially supporting and benefiting from the slave trade to later advocating against it due to the brutal treatment of slaves and the negative impact it had on Portugal's reputation. He became more involved in promoting exploration and trade instead of relying on slave labor.
No, William Wilberforce did not own slaves. He was a British politician and leading abolitionist in the movement to end the transatlantic slave trade. He dedicated much of his life to the cause of abolishing slavery in the British Empire.
No, it is not true. The transatlantic slave trade began in the early 16th century with Africans being forcibly transported to the Americas, primarily to Portuguese and Spanish colonies for labor. Spain did participate in the slave trade, but the transportation of African slaves directly to Spain did not occur on a large scale until later centuries.
The slave-trade cycle that was initiated by ship owners was known as The Atlantic Slave Trade. The Atlantic Slave Trade lasted from the 16th century to the 19th century.

There was no slave ship captain that signed the Declaration of Independence. The document had nothing to do with slavery and IF there had been a captain who ran a slave ship it wouldn’t have made any difference. Jefferson owned slaves and he wrote the Declaration.
