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.
Originally published in 1988.
