Focusing on the evolution of abolitionism within the Quaker communities of Pennsylvania and New Jersey from 1688 to 1780, this book examines how moral attitudes shift over time. Dr. Soderlund highlights the efforts of key reformers such as John Woolman and Benjamin Lay. The narrative reveals that the Quaker humanitarians ultimately achieved their goals by moderating their ideals to garner broader support, leading to a more gradualistic and segregationist approach that influenced the future antislavery movement.
