!!''{{Amazing Grace}}'' includes examples of:
* AmazingFreakingGrace
* BabiesEverAfter [[spoiler:William and Barbara.]]
* BeleagueredBureaucrat: Wilberforce's entire struggle to abolish slavery is more or less this.
** Pitt tries to help out Wilberforce's cause in the House of Commons ([[HoYay by threatening to shoot an MP for him]]) but the MP more or less brushes him off. Later on, when a sick Wilberforce tries to get Pitt--now [[BenevolentBoss Prime Minister]]--to read his bill for him, Pitt says he can't openly support abolition while the revolution in France is going on. He does help out in the end, though.
* DeadpanSnarker:
-->'''One of Wilberforce's supporters:''' I sent a note of thanks to those who voted for us.
-->'''Thomas Clarkson:''' Oh, how sweet of you.
* EngagingConversation: William and Barbara.
* FieryRedhead: Barbara.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Wilberforce is a bit ... extreme about having pets.
* GentlemanSnarker: Most Parliament scenes are basically a group of these having a Snarkfest Showdown.
* HeelFaceTurn: Charles Fox deciding to join up with the abolitionists: "I spent 18 months being torn apart in the House by you, Mr. Wilberforce. I thought I'd find out what it feels like on your side. Any of you saints drink?"
* HeelFaithTurn: A very mild version, and Wilberforce was already against slavery beforehand, but his crusade really kicks into high gear after he finds God.
* HeroesWantRedheads
* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: [[http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2010/8/2/1280771249672/William-Wilberforce-006.jpg William Wilberforce]] was, unsurprisingly, not so good-looking as [[http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Film/Pix/gallery/2007/03/05/WilliamWilberforce3.jpg Ioan Gruffudd]]. And the real [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Thomas_Clarkson_by_Carl_Frederik_at_the_National_Portrait_Galery.jpg Thomas Clarkson]] was, according to nearly all his portraits, slightly overweight, while Rufus Sewell was definitely [[http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsS/15662-27699.gif not]].
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: As pointed out in the link.
* InsultBackfire:
-->'''[[SmugSnake Duke of Clarence]]:''' Revolution is like the pox. It spreads from person to person.
-->'''William Wilberforce:''' I bow to my honorable friend's superior knowledge and experience in all matters regarding the pox.
* LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone: William and Barbara are shoved at each other at every single possible opportunity. Neither is amused. [[spoiler:They end up together anyway.]]
* ServileSnarker: Richard, Wilberforce's butler.
* ShamingTheMob: Wilberforce wines and dines a bunch of important people on a shipdeck, complete with a fancy music quartet, and then sails them straight past the ''Madagascar''--a slave ship. It works.
