The African Institution was founded in 1807 after British abolitionists succeeded in ending the slave trade based in the United Kingdom. The Institution was formed to succeed where the former Sierra Leone Company had failed—to create a viable, civilised refuge for freed slaves in Sierra Leone, in West Africa. It was led by James Stephen and William Wilberforce. From 1823, its work was mostly taken over by the Society for the Mitigation and Gradual Abolition of Slavery Throughout the British Dominions, and it ceased to exist sometime between 1826 and 1828.

  • Die African Institution ist eine im Vereinigten Königreich gegründete Vereinigung von Gegnern der Sklaverei und zur Entwicklung des afrikanischen Kontinents. Sie wurde im Zusammenhang mit der Abschaffung des Sklavenhandels 1807 gegründet. In ihr trafen und sammelten sich die Anhänger des Abolitionismus (z. B. William Wilberforce). Ihr Ziel war zugleich jedoch, Afrika zu zivilisieren und zu unterrichten. Sie gründete viele Schulen in Afrika, insbesondere in Sierra Leone. 1810 machte sich der damalige Leiter Zachary Macaulay für die Rückführung von Sarah Baartman, genannt Hottentot Venus, in die Kapprovinz stark.
