March 2007 marks the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in England. Much press has been given to the recent movie "Amazing Grace," which eloquently captures the life and mission of William Wilberforce, who led the charge in the abolition fight. Several decades later Lincoln would lead the fight to end slavery in the United States. "Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally."
