Aprašymas
Tarheel Quakers and the Fight Against Slavery
In the 1650s, Quakers settled the Carolana Colony, bringing enslaved people with them. Coastal Quakers grew wealthy from slavery, and Piedmont Quakers also relied on enslaved labor. But in the 1700s, influenced by John Woolman, some North Carolina Quakers began questioning slavery.
Tim Allen's Tarheel Quakers and the Fight Against Slavery explores how these early abolitionists led the battle against slavery. Using runaway slave ads, local histories, and legal records, Allen uncovers the stories of Quakers who fought for freedom. From the North Carolina Manumission Society to the Underground Railroad, this book reveals the untold story of Quakers challenging the state and society to end slavery in antebellum North Carolina.
