Quakers in America

The history of Quakers is, in some ways, the history of America and its culture. Early forms of government, the fight against war, slavery, poverty were all influenced by the Quakers. Women's rights, many fields of science, the temperance movement were all fueled by the Quakers, who wanted not just to improve themselves but also the world. This book really helps you understand where Quakerism came from, how it has developed and where it may be going. A must for any library on Colonial American History.
