This book explores the growth of abolitionism Quakers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey from 1688 to 1780, providing a case study of how groups change their moral attitudes. The author reveals that a number of Quaker communities in the Delaware Valley were highly resistant to the arguments of the Quaker abolitionists. Meetings came to oppose slavery at different times in the 1700s, and resistance to reform was linked to the economic interests of influential Friends that were slowest to give up slaveholding. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
is book explores the growth of abolitionism among Quakers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey from 1688 to 1780, providing a case study of how groups change their moral attitudes. Dr. Soderlund details the long battle fought by reformers like gentle John Woolman and eccentric Benjamin Lay. The eighteenth-century Quaker humanitarians succeeded only after they diluted their goals to attract wider support, establishing a gradualistic, paternalistic, and segregationist model for the later antislavery movement.
