"Anti-Saccharites or John Bull and his Family leaving off the use of Sugar" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, published on March 24, 1792. The artwork is a commentary on the sugar boycott that was part of the abolitionist movement's campaign against the slave trade. The print depicts a fictionalized version of the British everyman, John Bull, and his family in a domestic setting, humorously struggling with the decision to abstain from sugar to protest the slave trade, which was integral to sugar production in the Caribbean.

In the print, Gillray illustrates the Bull family's discomfort and inconvenience caused by their moral stance, as they attempt to enjoy their tea without the customary sweetness of sugar. The caricature captures the tension between personal sacrifice for a moral cause and the habitual comforts of daily life. The artwork is notable for its intricate detail, expressive characters, and the way it encapsulates the social and political climate of the time.

Gillray's work is a significant example of the role of visual satire in shaping public opinion and debate. "Anti-Saccharites" not only reflects the growing public awareness and activism against the slave trade but also demonstrates Gillray's skill in using humor and caricature to engage with serious political issues. The print is held in various collections, including the British Museum, and remains a subject of interest for scholars studying the intersection of art, politics, and society in the late 18th century.
