A considerable part of Britain's wealth was dependent on the products produced by enslaved people. The sale of exported goods such as sugar and tobacco helped to sustain the British economy.

Many plantation owners were British, and had ties to influential figures in British politics. Some were even members of parliament themselves, such as George Hibbert and William Beckford. These people opposed the abolition movement and were known as the West India Lobby. An end to enslavement would mean having to pay their plantation workers, which would significantly reduce their profits. They used a range of tactics to spread a pro-enslavement message.

Hibbert and Beckford produced pamphlets explaining why the slave trade was necessary. They argued that the economy of the British Empire was reliant on the slave trade and that it would collapse without it. They also lobbied Parliament, using their power to put pressure on others, and their wealth enabled them to buy votes.

As a result of this opposition, abolitionists decided to focus on the campaign to end the trade in enslaved people from Africa. They hoped that this would lead to the gradual end of all slavery across the British Empire.
