From peace to freedom : Quaker rhetoric and the birth of American antislavery, 1657-1761
2012
Overview
Carey investigates in detail the origins of antislavery thought and rhetoric within the Society of Friends. The book shows how the Quakers turned against slavery in the first half of the eighteenth century and became the first organisation to take a stand against the slave trade. Through meticulous examination of the earliest writings of the Friends, including journals and letters, it reveals the society's gradual transition from expressing doubt about slavery to adamant opposition. The book shows that while progression toward this stance was ongoing, it was slow and uneven and that it was vigorous internal debate and discussion that ultimately led to a call for abolition.
