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.
