Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Separation in Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends; Which Took Place in the Winter of 1842 and 1843, on the Anti-Slavery Question: Containing a Brief Account of the Rise, Spread, and Final Adoption by the Society, of Its Testimony Against Slavery; Together With a Record of Some of the Principal Facts and Circumstances Relating to That Separation IT is now (the summer of 1855) between twelve and thirteen years since the Separation took place in Indiana Yearly Meet ing of Friends, on the anti-slavery question. Owing peculiar position which Friends, especially in the United States, occupied at. And near the time of the difficulty, the true state of the case was: very little known among them, nor could it be brought before the mass of the members of Society as then controlled. I trust that the feeling is now somewhat different among them; that prejudice has so far given way, that alarger number, at least, will be willing to hear. Such need to see the documents, and to look into the matter for themselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...who adhere to the old organization ' were generally well satisfied with what took place' on First-day, in regard to the treatment of Henry Clay, by the Clerk and other leading Friends. The only effect it can possibly have, will be to convince all who are not willfully blind, that their faithful testimony against Slavery, consists in profession only. If a man, a distinguished stranger of equal talents with Henry Clay, who had robbed his white neighbor by violence of half his property, or had stolen a horse from him, should have visited Richmond at the same time, and had told the Clerk he was inclined to go to his meeting, would he have taken him there in his carriage and led him about by the arm as a brother beloved, and would Friends have conducted him into one of the most conspicuous seats in the meeting-house, etc? And yet he says in effect, it would have been a great and reprehensible violation of all good manners, courtesy, good breeding, and duty not to show this respect to Henry Clay, a man who is continually robbing fifty colored persons not merely of a part, but of everything they should rightfully possess. Can any person define, consistently with a faithful testimony against Slavery, why such a character should command more respect than the petty robber? " Page 8. 'But the Clerk of the meeting, as such, did not conduct Henry Clay.'-. " It seems to us he need not to have taken the pains to deny that which no one supposed. We had no idea that he conducted him as Clerk. The object was, to show that he who had the confidence and support of the ruling party thus acted, and of course that it was 'a pretty goo index to their character, unless they had shown their disapprobation of the conduct, which...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can the simple choice of a men’s suit be a moral statement and a political act? When the suit is made of free-labor wool rather than slave-grown cotton. In Moral Commerce, Julie L. Holcomb traces the genealogy of the boycott of slave labor from its seventeenth-century Quaker origins through its late nineteenth-century decline. In their failures and in their successes, in their resilience and their persistence, antislavery consumers help us understand the possibilities and the limitations of moral commerce. Quaker antislavery rhetoric began with protests against the slave trade before expanding to include boycotts of the use and products of slave labor. For more than one hundred years, British and American abolitionists highlighted consumers’ complicity in sustaining slavery. The boycott of slave labor was the first consumer movement to transcend the boundaries of nation, gender, and race in an effort by reformers to change the conditions of production. The movement attracted a broad cross-section of abolitionists: conservative and radical, Quaker and non-Quaker, male and female, white and black. The men and women who boycotted slave labor created diverse, biracial networks that worked to reorganize the transatlantic economy on an ethical basis. Even when they acted locally, supporters embraced a global vision, mobilizing the boycott as a powerful force that could transform the marketplace. For supporters of the boycott, the abolition of slavery was a step toward a broader goal of a just and humane economy. The boycott failed to overcome the power structures that kept slave labor in place; nonetheless, the movement’s historic successes and failures have important implications for modern consumers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strong (history of Christianity, Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DC) tells the little known story of ecclesiastical abolitionism, an important movement during the antebellum period. It involved radical evangelical Protestants who seceded from pro-slavery denominations and reorganized themselves into independent anti-slavery congregations. He also explores how the network of churches in New York State formed a political wing as the Liberty Party and legitimized the connection between church and state.

Download or read book The Creation of Quaker Theory written by Pink Dandelion and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last forty years has witnessed a 'golden age' of Quaker Studies scholarship, with the bulk of this work into the history and sociology of Quakerism being undertaken by scholars who are also Quakers. For the scholars involved, their Quakerism has both prompted their research interests and affected their lives as Quakers. This book presents a unique study into Quakerism: it draws together the key theories of Quaker origins, subsequent history, and contemporary sociology, into a single volume; and it allows each of the contributors the opportunity to reflect on what led to the initial choice of research topic, and how their findings have in turn affected their Quaker lives. The result is a unique contribution to Quaker theory as well to the discussion on insider/outsider research. This book is invaluable to anyone interested in Quakerism, research into religion, notions of outsider objectivity within academia, and areas of theology, religious history and sociology in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting a prodigious amount of research in primary and secondary sources, this book examines the efforts of American abolitionists to bring northern religious institutions to the forefront of the antislavery movement. John R. McKivigan employs both conventional and quantitative historical techniques to assess the positions adopted by various churches in the North during the growing conflict over slavery, and to analyze the stratagems adopted by American abolitionists during the 1840s and 1850s to persuade northern churches to condemn slavery and to endorse emancipation. Working for three decades to gain church support for their crusade, the abolitionists were the first to use many of the tactics of later generations of radicals and reformers who were also attempting to enlist conservative institutions in the struggle for social change. To correct what he regards to be significant misperceptions concerning church-oriented abolitionism, McKivigan concentrates on the effects of the abolitionists' frequent failures, the division of their movement, and the changes in their attitudes and tactics in dealing with the churches. By examining the pre-Civil War schisms in the Presbyterian, Baptist, and Methodist denominations, he shows why northern religious bodies refused to embrace abolitionism even after the defection of most southern members. He concludes that despite significant antislavery action by a few small denominations, most American churches resisted committing themselves to abolitionist principles and programs before the Civil War. In a period when attention is again being focused on the role of religious bodies in influencing efforts to solve America's social problems, this book is especially timely.
