Quakers Living in the Lion's Mouth

The Society of Friends in Northern Virginia, 1730-1865

Beschreibung

This examination of a Quaker community in northern Virginia, between its first settlement in 1730 and the end of the Civil War, explores how an antislavery, pacifist, and equalitarian religious minority maintained its ideals and campaigned for social justice in a society that violated those values on a daily basis.
