The Society for the Mitigation and Gradual Abolition of Slavery, often referred to simply as the Society for the Mitigation, was a significant organization in the early 19th century advocating for the gradual abolition of slavery. Founded in Britain, this society emerged as a response to the growing abolitionist movement, which sought to end the inhumane practice of slavery and promote civil rights for all individuals. Their efforts included publishing reports and pamphlets that highlighted the moral and ethical arguments against slavery, aimed at raising public awareness and influencing legislative changes.
