Selecting from the Writings of John Woolman
In 1816 the Friends Tract Association published an excerpt from John Woolman’s first antislavery essay Some Considerations on the Keeping of Negroes with every reference to slavery edited out. The editors wanted to highlight Woolman’s ‘general’ message, that those who maintained their health, lived humbly and served God were rewarded with true happiness. In the excerpt, using biblical citations and an invocation of the early Quaker colonisation o…
Friends of Freedom
Alpaugh’s Friends of Freedom provides an integrated narrative of the rise of social movements, political protest, and revolutionary mobilization in the eighteenth century in the United States, Britain, Ireland, France, and Haiti. The author contrasts his own work with that of Palmer, who undertook a similar project more than half a century ago in The Age of the Democratic Revolution.1 Like Alpaugh, Palmer argued that common ideals motivated eight…

Atlantic Wars
Atlantic Wars explores how warfare shaped human experience around the Atlantic from the late Middle Ages until the nineteenth century. Military concerns and initiatives drove the development of technologies like ships, port facilities, fortresses, and roads that made crossing the ocean possible and reshaped the landscape on widely separated coasts. Forced migrations made land available for colonisation, and the transportation of war captives prov…

Quakers and Native Americans examines the history of interactions between Quakers and Native Americans (American Indians). Fourteen scholarly essays cover the period from the 1650s to the twentieth century.

Thomas Tryon, Sheep and the Politics of Eden
The English writer Thomas Tryon (1634–1703) believed that sheep were survivors from the original earthly paradise, and that as morally perfect beings they could serve as role models for humans. Tryon advocated vegetarianism, pacifism and an end to slavery as it was practiced in the Caribbean. He was an ambitious and influential reformer on several fronts, but the restoration of Eden was his ultimate goal. Tryon celebrated sheep-like meekness, a s…
Quakers as Political Players in Early America
The Quakers have long attracted scholarly interest for the apparently progressive positions they have taken on issues such as the empowerment of women, the maintenance of just relations between colonists and Native Americans, and the abolition of slavery. Among some historians and present-day members of the Society of Friends, there is an impulse to sanctify prominent early Quakers, to suggest that they stood apart from their neighbors and bore w…
Discipline and Divinity
Quakers began arriving in the Caribbean and North America when their religious society was still new and struggling to define its core beliefs and institutional structure. There were tensions within the Society of Friends stemming from the Quakers' validation of individual inspiration and their communal commitment to the Christian message as contained in the Bible. A bitter debate over scriptural authority wracked Quaker meetings for the remainde…

Making G ibraltar B ritish in the Eighteenth Century
The conquest and retention of G ibraltar was a challenge for B ritain in the eighteenth century, not only militarily and diplomatically, but also in the context of domestic politics and culture. G ibraltar was a B ritish imperial possession on the edge of E urope, an imposing but isolated outpost, and the centre of a trade network dominated by M uslim A fricans and S ephardic J ews. Its largest ethnic group was C atholic and G enoese. Never well …

Sailing with John Woolman
Over the course of his lifetime, the New Jersey Quaker antislavery campaigner John Woolman (1720–72) developed an increasingly comprehensive critique of the global economy, and he focused his attention ever more sharply on the worldwide influence of sailing ships. Wool-man believed that sailing carried great promise because it allowed Christians to reach out to “heathen” peoples around the world. At the same time, however, his encounters with sai…
The First Person in Antislavery Literature
In his lifetime John Woolman (1720–1772) drew attention to himself with his unusual behavior, his expressive demeanor and his clothes. He sought to become a ‘sign’ directing others toward a way of life without exploitation or slavery. After his death and the publication of his journal, he was celebrated as the most important figure in the campaign to turn the Quakers against slaveholding. Woolman's self-presentation, contemporary responses to him…
The Flame of Life Was Kindled in All Animal and Sensitive Creatures
In the winter of 1771, the colonial assembly of Pennsylvania received a petition from voters in Lancaster County asking for the construction of a turnpike from the Susquehanna River to Philadelphia. Supporters of the project believed that the new road would spur economic development, and in support of this claim they cited developments in England. England's turnpikes, they argued, had made long-distance travel efficient and safe, had contributed …

An Unsettled Conquest
This book is a magnificent synthesis that exposes the evolution of British policies with regard to the Acadians between 1690 and 1760 and the context related to empire struggles that eventually led to deportation. Applying himself to grasp the collective stakes, Geoffrey Plank occasionally illustrates them through the life of a leader or a village history. Up to 1710, the British conquests in Acadia were characterized by dreadful looting. Thereaf…
