Since Wilberforce was the chief parliamentary advocate for the abolition of the slave trade, slavery became an important local issue in Hull, from whence it soon spread further afield. The Sheffield Female Anti-Slavery Society was particularly active. By lectures and pamphlets, the society successfully boycotted to decrease sales of West Indian goods produced by slaves, such as coffee and sugar, and in 1827 it became the first anti-slavery society in Britain to call for the immediate emancipation of slaves.
