  In the years before the Civil War, the Society of Friends opposed the abolitionist campaign for an immediate end to slavery and considered abolitionists within the church as heterodox radicals seeking to destroy civil and religious liberty. This work reminds us of the difficulties facing reformers who tried peacefully to end slavery.
