Quakers and Their Allies in the Abolitionist Cause, 1754-1808 (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Jackson, Maurice; Kozel, Susan

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume explores the significant connections between the Quaker community and the abolitionist cause in America. The case studies that make up the collection mainly focus on the greater Philadelphia area, a hotbed of the abolitionist movement and the location of the first American abolition society founded in 1775. Despite the importance of Quakers to the abolitionist movement, their significance has been largely overlooked in the existing historiography. These studies will be of interest to scholars of slavery and abolition, religious history, Atlantic studies and American social and political history.
