This article addresses the contributions of black and white men and women in Europe and the United States to the propaganda campaigns instrumental in the abolition of the trans-Atlantic trade in Africans and the antislavery movements of Great Britain and the United States in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The ideas and words of literary figures in the service of eliminating slavery are the focus of this study. The impact of the ideology addressing women's moral responsibilities regarding the issue of slavery and the participation of women antislavery activists on the rise of the first wave of feminism is also addressed
