Amazing Grace: Historical Accuracy The 2006 film Amazing Grace depicts the struggle of a British parliament member named William Wilberforce as he worked tirelessly toward the abolishment of The Atlantic Slave Trade in Great Britain. Comparing this 2006 film with primary and secondary source documents, along with some internet research, I was able to find some consistencies and some discrepancies with historical accuracy.

Amazing Grace is a movie about the campaign against the slave trade in the British Empire, Led by a man named William Wilberforce, who was responsible for steering anti-slave trade legislation throughout the British Parliament. This title is tied to the hymn “Amazing Grace”, which has to do with slavery as well. John Newton, a crewman aboard the Slave ship, and subsequent religious conversation, which also inspired him for his poem that is in the hymn. Basing in the time of 1782, Wilberforce recounts the moments that led him to where he is now, a sick, retired politician. William considers quitting politics and studying theology, however, he is persuaded by his friends William Pitt, Thomas Clarkson, Hannah More, and Olaudah Equiano that he will be more effective doing the work of God in the very unpopular, important, and dangerous issue of the abolition of the British slave trade. The first time William tried his bill, the bill failed, and many years later, he tried again, succeeding in his bill, abolishing the slave trade in Britain forever. In my life, I plan to actually take my time to plan things, put them into action, and succeed in my own personal “bills”.
