Royalty & Aristocracy Throughout History / Re: The Hanovers 1714-1901

The reign of King William IV saw several reforms: 
the Poor Law was updated, child labor restricted, slavery abolished 
in nearly all of the British Empire, and the electoral system refashioned by the Reform Acts of 1832.

Yes, King William IV is often disregarded and thought of as a 'Silly Billy'(one of his nicknames) but the Parliaments of his reign (often dominated by reforming Whigs) certainly weren't. Some movements predated his reign of course. The British move to abolish the international slave trade for example was largely due to William Wilberforce and his circle fighting for legislation to be passed in Parliament in the 1820s. And it was, there's a story of a dying Wilberforce being carried into the House of Commons to see it pass which apparently isn't true, but he certainly heard about it from Thomas Clarkson, a leader in the campaign to abolish the slave trade within the then British Empire.
