Louis X of France set a precedent by abolishing serfdom within the Kingdom of France in 1315.[1]
The British abolitionist movement only started in the late 18th century, however, when English and American Quakers began to question the morality of slavery, as noted at the Yearly Meetings of London and of Philadelphia in 1758.[citation needed] James Oglethorpe was among the first to articulate the Enlightenment case against slavery, banning it in the Province of Georgia on humanitarian grounds, and arguing against it in Parliament, and eventually encouraging his friends Granville Sharp and Hannah More to vigorously pursue the cause.[citation needed] Soon after his death in 1785, Sharp and More united with William Wilberforce and others in forming the Clapham Sect.[2]
