Description: Quakers and Slavery : A Divided Spirit, Paperback by Soderlund, Jean R., ISBN 0691601119, ISBN-13 9780691601113, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
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.
