Quaker Beliefs and Anti-Slavery Stance

The Quakers were known for rejecting violence and standing out in early American society for their abstinence from alcohol. Notably, they vehemently opposed slavery, with John Woolman leading the charge through his pamphlet advocating for the abolitionist position and the recognition of equality among races. Quakers were pioneers in anti-slavery efforts, establishing the Philadelphia Abolition Society in 1775 and financially supporting individuals like Daniel Coker to purchase their freedom.
