     http://www.mayflowerfamilies.com/enquirer/quakers.htm
     
     Extractions: for then ye are sure to stretch by the halter." William Penn Quakers, like Puritans, had their origins in the hotbed of European religious dissent. In addition to the many Quakers who suffered abroad, there were some who felt called to go further afield. The Quaker faith soon came to American shore. (Stratton) Though some had undoubtedly embraced the tenets of the Quakers prior to the arrival of two female missionaries in 1656, there is apparently no evidence to indicate that they had proclaimed themselves or adopted the name of the despised sect. Had they done so, they probably would have been at least named in the recommendation of the Court made in May of the same year, that "the 11th day of June next…be kept as a public day of humiliation, to seek the face of God in behalf of our native country, in reference to the abounding of errors, especially those of the Ranters and Quakers," etc. Plymouth, somewhat less severe in its approach to the Quaker "problem," still deemed them the "pernicious sect called Quakers . . , who sowed their corrupt and damnable doctrines, both by word and writings . . .so as the number of them increased, to the great endangering and subversion of the whole . . ."

108. Temperance Society
     Formed in 1835 and soon advocated teetotalism. One important figure in the movement was the Catholic priest, Theobald Matthew, who persuaded thousands of people in Ireland to sign the pledge. quakers, members of the Salvation Army and nonconformists were also active participants.  
     http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/REtemperance.htm
     
     Extractions: At first temperance usually involved a promise not to drink spirits and members continued to consume wine and beer. However, by the 1840s temperance societies began advocating teetotalism. This was a much stronger position as it not only included a pledge to abstain from all alcohol for life but also a promise not to provide it to others. The artist, George Cruikshank , whose own father, Isaac Cruikshank , had died of alcoholism, played an important role in helping in persuading people to join the movement by producing a series of books on the subject: this included The Bottle T he Drunkard's Children (1848) and The Worship of Bacchus One of the most important figures in the temperance movem ent was the Catholic priest

     While the stringent laws of The Fugitive Slave Act were being enforced and the institution of slavery continued unabated, many abolitionists assisted escaped slaves regardless of the consequences. These abolitionists, who were primarily composed of quakers, exslaves and other liberal thinking citizens, helped establish what was known as the Underground Railroad.

So, we have attempted to produce a detailed site to describe our breeding practices and opinions. You will find general information about Quaker care and specific details ab out our breeding program on the Aviary Nursery and Diet pages. The diet section describes not only our breeding parents' diet , but also their kids' diet and our weaning practices.

     quakers and adult schools. An important chapter in the development of adult education and educational settlements. Friends Meeting House, St Martin’s Lane  
     http://www.infed.org/walking/wa-quak.htm
     
     Extractions: encyclopaedia archives explore Friends Meeting House We stop here because of the influence that Friends have had in the development of the Adult School Movement - and later the Educational Settlements. In the development of non-conformist Christianity from John Wycliffe and the Lollards on, direct access for all to the Bible has been stressed. With it came the the need to the ability to read. This was a key concern of the SPCK and of the pioneering work of the Welsh Circulating Schools under the influence of Rev Griffith Jones. They grew with some speed in the first half of the eighteenth century and could be attended by adults as well as young people. Adults could come on weekday evenings or to Sunday Schools.

     http://08016.com/quakers.html
     
     Extractions: The Quakers The first Europeans to settle Burlington were members of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. Founded by George Fox in seventeenth-century England, the Friends quickly met with persecution for their refusal to bear arms, take oaths, and pay tithes. Less than a quarter-century after the Society was founded, Friends began leaving England for the religious freedom of America. More than one third of those originally purchasing land in Burlington had been fined or imprisoned for their beliefs in England. Even as their ship, the Kent, sailed down the Thames River, King Charles II boarded it from his royal barge and wished them a safe voyage. As the King's own laws led to much of the abuse the Quakers received in England, this blessing is usually viewed as a polite "go away," at best. Since 1677, Burlington has been the home of many Friends, including

119. Civil War Links - Underground Railroad
     Some 50,000 North Carolinians left the state and moved to Ohio or Indiana in protest to slavery during the thirty years before the Civil War is not widely known. As the frustration with more restrictive and harsh laws over slaves and slave owning were passed, some quakers, like Levi Coffin, began to illegally assist escaping slaves to flee the state.

     As early as 1688, four German quakers in Germantown near Philadelphia protested slavery in a resolution that condemned the traffic of Menbody.  
     http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part3/3p249.html
     
     Extractions: As early as 1688, four German Quakers in Germantown near Philadelphia protested slavery in a resolution that condemned the "traffic of Men-body." By the 1770s, abolitionism was a full-scale movement in Pennsylvania. Led by such Quaker activists as Anthony Benezet and John Woolman, many Philadelphia slaveholders of all denominations had begun bowing to pressure to emancipate their slaves on religious, moral, and economic grounds. In April 1775, Benezet called the first meeting of the Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully held in Bondagevii at the Rising Sun Tavern. Thomas Paineviii was among the ten white Philadelphians who attended; seven of the group were Quakers. Often referred to as the Abolition Society, the group focused on intervention in the cases of blacks and Indians who claimed to have been illegally enslaved. Of the twenty-four men who attended the four meetings held before the Society disbanded, seventeen were Quakers. Six of these original members were among the largely Quaker group of eighteen Philadelphians that reorganized in February 1784 as the Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery and for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondageix (commonly referred to as the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, or PAS). Although still occupied with litigation on behalf of blacks who were illegally enslaved under existing laws, the new name reflected the Society's growing emphasis on abolition as a goal. Within two years, the group had grown to 82 members and inspired the establishment of anti-slavery organizations in other cities.
