Comparison between Newton and Stephen

This provides a unique point to possibly explore. Throughout history many social movements are conducted by a specific "niche" in society. For example, the labor and union movements in the United States were primarily championed by the working and lower classes of society. Newton and Stephen provide an interesting example. On one hand you have Newton who considers himself a "born again christian" and on the other you have Stephen who demonstrates through his actions that he is not the most upstanding moral character. One is a successful slave captain while the other is a lawyer trying to find his way in the Caribbean. Despite these differences, both men are drawn to the abolition movement. This could be a very interesting example to question and explore further.
