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. 606 $aSlavery and the church$xSociety of Friends$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aQuaker abolitionists$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aSociety of Friends$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aAntislavery movements$xHistory$y18th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSlavery and the church$xSociety of Friends$xHistory 615 0$aQuaker abolitionists$xHistory 615 0$aSociety of Friends$xHistory 615 0$aAntislavery movements$xHistory 676 $a306.3620973 700 $aCarey$b Brycchan$f1967-$01053521 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461918303321 996 $aFrom peace to freedom$92485458 997 $aUNINA
