Through meticulous examination of the earliest writings of the Friends, including journals and letters, Carey reveals the society's gradual transition from expressing doubt about slavery to adamant opposition. He shows that while progression toward this stance was ongoing, it was slow and uneven and that it was vigorous internal debate and discussion that ultimately led to a call for abolition. His book will be a major contribution to the history of the rhetoric of antislavery and the development of antislavery thought as explicated in early Quaker writing.Slavery and the churchSociety of FriendsHistory18th centuryQuaker abolitionistsHistory18th centurySociety of FriendsHistory18th centuryAntislavery movementsHistory18th centuryElectronic books.Slavery and the churchSociety of FriendsHistoryQuaker abolitionistsHistorySociety of FriendsHistoryAntislavery movementsHistory306.3620973Carey Brycchan1967-1053521MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461918303321From peace to freedom2485458UNINA
