Called "a pioneer work of the first importance" by Staughton Lynd,
this book traces the history of pacifism in America from colonial
times to the start of World War I. The author describes how the
immigrant peace sects-Quaker, Mennonite, and Dunker -faced the
challenges of a hostile environment. The peace societies that
sprang up after 1815 form the subject of the next section, with
particular attention focused upon the American Peace Society and
Garrison's New England Non-Resistance Society. A series of chapters
on the reactions of these sects and societies to the Civil War, the
neglect of pacifism in the postwar period, and the beginnings of a
renewal in the years before the outbreak of war in Europe bring the
book to a close. The emphasis on the institutional aspects of the
movement is balanced throughout by a rich mine of accounts about
the experiences of individual pacifists. Originally published in
1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
