Quakers and Abolition Carey Brycchan
This collection of fifteen insightful essays examines the complexity and diversity of Quaker antislavery attitudes across three centuries, from 1658 to 1890. They often disagreed with one another and the larger antislavery movement about the morality of slaveholding and the best approach to abolition.Not surprisingly, contributors explain, this complicated and evolving antislavery sensibility left behind an equally complicated legacy. Contributors from a range of disciplines, nations, and faith backgrounds show Quaker's beliefs to be far from monolithic.
This volume faithfully seeks to correct that oversight, offering accessible yet provocative new insights on a key chapter of religious, political, and cultural While Quaker antislavery was a powerful contemporary influence in both the United States and Europe, present-day scholars pay little substantive attention to the subject.
