Dutch and Indigenous Communities in Seventeenth-Century Northeastern North America
This well-illustrated volume of ten essays originated in a 2016 conference entitled “Early Encounters: Dutch-Indigenous Relations in Seventeenth-Century Northeastern North America” hosted by the Institute for American Indian Studies Museum and Research Center in Washington, Connecticut. The goal of editor Lucianne Lavin and other contributors is to clarify the importance of the merchants and colonists of New Netherland to the development of the r…
John Woolman’s Intersecting Testimonies against Enslavement, Colonialism and the Rum Trade
John Woolman built upon Quaker principles and earlier critiques by Friends in New Jersey and Pennsylvania to oppose enslavement and the rum trade among members of the Religious Society of Friends. By the 1760s, after the devastation of the Seven Years’ War, he recognised how English colonisation had destroyed Native communities, linking colonialism with enslavement and rum. Woolman located these intersecting inequities in the focus of English fam…
The Worlds of William Penn
This collection of eighteen essays, The Worlds of William Penn, is based upon a conference held at Rutgers University in 2015 to commemorate the Pennsylvania founder's death in 1718. The editors Andrew R. Murphy and John Smolenski acknowledge their “desire to pay homage to, and to build upon” (1) the earlier volume entitled The World of William Penn (1986), edited by Richard S. Dunn and Mary Maples Dunn, which comprised papers presented at a Marc…
The Western Delaware Indian Nation, 1730-1795
In The Western Delaware Indian Nation, 1730–1795, Richard S. Grimes pursues the history of the Lenapes and Munsees who left autonomous communities in their homeland that ranged from what is now southern New York through New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania to northern Delaware as Europeans filled up their land. The Delawares who moved west sought access to large territories and distance from white settlement no longer available in the Delaware Val…
To Friends and All Whom It May Concerne”
Pennsylvania Quaker William Southeby wrote one of the earliest American critiques of slavery in 1696 and continued agitating against the institution until his death in 1722. Scholars have been restricted in their attention to Southeby because his 1696 protest and all but one of his other writings have been lost to history. This article reproduces and analyzes a recently discovered transcript of his 1696 address made in 1791 by another Quaker abol…
Brycchan Carey. From Peace to Freedom
Brycchan Carey's goal is to shed greater light on the process by which the Friends of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (PYM) developed an antislavery rhetoric that served as the basis for later abolitionist movements in Europe and America. Carey's thesis is that, in contrast to the contention of some scholars that antislavery writings before 1760 had “little impact,” a cogent discourse against slavery emerged first from the writings of individual Frie…
John Woolman's Path to the Peaceable Kingdom
The past several years have seen a reawakening of interest among historians in the growth of opposition to slavery among Delaware valley Quakers during the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, prior to broader abolitionist movements in Great Britain, Europe, and the early United States. Thomas P. Slaughter's The Beautiful Soul of John Woolman, Apostle of Abolition (2008), Maurice Jackson's Let This Voice Be Heard: Anthony Benezet, Father of…
The Having of Negroes Is Become a Burden
Michael J. Crawford's edited collection The Having of Negroes Is Become a Burden provides poignant insight into the difficulties of Quakers in North Carolina who wanted to conform to the antislavery position of Friends elsewhere. The documents also suggest the calamity faced by African Americans who were freed by their Quaker owners and then legally subjected to reenslavement and sale to the highest bidder. Crawford embarked on this project when …
Beyond the Household
Much has been written about the lady, that pervasive and enduring icon of antebellum regional identity. But how did the lady get on her pedestal-and were the lives of white southern women always so different from those of their northern contemporaries? In her ambitious new book, Cynthia A. Kierner charts the evolution of the lives of white southern women through the colonial, revolutionary, and early republican eras. Using the lady on her pedesta…

Dismantling Slavery
Although Pennsylvanians who were not members of the Society of Friends had proved remarkably impervious to the Revolutionary rhetoric of natural rights, as well as to the humanitarian appeals of Quakers to cleanse the new republic from the sin of bondage, they changed remarkably in the decade after hostilities with Great Britain ceased. On two levels—one institutional and the other personal—a new commitment to withdrawing from the system of compe…

Slavery and Abolition in the Revolutionary Era
In 1767, when eastern Pennsylvania was emerging from the economic doldrums that followed the withdrawal of British forces fighting in America during the Seven Years’ War, slaveowners held captive about 1500 Africans in Philadelphia and another 4000 in rural Pennsylvania. At the same time Philadelphia Yearly Meeting took steps against slavery and the trade and a few Friends manumitted blacks, slave importations had reached an all-time high in the …

The authors have made a study of the slaveholders themselves in order to understand the process by which most slaves were given freedom without legislative or judicial efforts and without compensation to their masters. The book also traces a number of individual cases which show the varying processes by …

Women's Authority in Pennsylvania and New Jersey Quaker Meetings, 1680-1760
S CHOLARS seeking the source of the women's rights movement in North America discover that the trail leads to the Society of Friends. The Quakers, who in Sydney E. Ahlstrom's words had by I700 become probably the most potent religious movement in the colonies outside Puritan New England,' dwindled to a small sect after the Revolution. Nevertheless, a large percentage of nineteenth-century feminists were Quakers. These women had sharpened oratoric…

The First Emancipators
William Southeby, a substantial, well-respected Philadelphia Friend, approached the Quaker-dominated Pennsylvania Assembly in 1712 with a bold request. He petitioned for the “Enlargement,” or general emancipation, of all slaves in the province. A septuagenarian, Southeby took up abolition toward the end of a lifetime in which he had prospered, served as a public official, and achieved recognition as a “weighty Friend.” With his antislavery crusad…
Dismantling Slavery
As Pennsylvanians took part in fashioning a new nation, they ordained, through their legislators, that slavery would have no long-term existence in their state. The gradual abolition act of 1780 was a cautious document that protected the property rights of slaveholders and freed no slaves. But by prohibiting all slave importation and consigning children to servitude rather than perpetual slavery, the law and its amendments mandated that the insti…
After Freedom
The manumitting sentiment that overtook many, albeit a minority, of Pennsylvania’s slaveholders in the 1780s and 1790s led to the release from bondage of hundreds of slaves. The desire of slaveholders to be quit of the system of bondage, however, did not mean that their need for cheap labor and a flexible system for obtaining it had diminished. In an expanding late eighteenthcentury economy, both rural and urban Pennsylvanians sought a dependable…
Slavery in the “Best Poor Man’s Country”
In 1811, ironmaster Colonel Thomas Bull of East Nantmeal Township, Chester County, registered with the county clerk a six-month-old black girl Haney. In doing this, Bull ensured that he could keep Haney as his servant until she reached age 28, which, if she did serve that long, would make her one of the last blacks in Pennsylvania to serve under terms of the state’s gradual abolition act of 1780. Bull, nearing age 70 at Haney’s birth, had careful…
The Legacy of Antislavery Reform
If the freedom road for black Pennsylvanians was twisted, narrow, and obstacle-filled, it would have been even more so without the work of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society. Few African-Americans emerging from bondage had the wherewithal or the legal knowledge to fight for the small gains the PAS laboriously extracted from a generally unsympathetic society and legal system. Yet the stance of the Society was ambiguous and paradoxical. Like the So…
