The way Quakers draw attention to the issue of abolition by boycotting slave-grown sugar, and by writing petitions to Parliament.

The role that the Quakers played in the abolition of slavery was very important. They were the first group to publicly denounce slavery and supported abolition. It was around 1688 that the Quakers began the denounces over the trade of slaves. But it was not until 1740 that the protest became stronger in America and England, and the Quakers draw attention to the issue of abolition by boycotting slave-grown sugar, and by writing petitions to Parliament.
