Excerpt from Some Chapters in the History of the Friendly Association

Having endeavored to trace the causes which aliena ted the Indians from the settlers, it remains to show the action of Friends in the premises. In 1755, Israel Pemberton writes: The frequent melancholy accounts of the barbarous murthers committed by Indians in the western and northern portions of this Province, filled the minds of people in general, with indignation and resentment against them, and no opportunity presented of publicly manifesting the earnest concern we had, to use our utmost endeavors.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of a group of Quakers in Philadelphia who sought to maintain peace with Native Americans during a tumultuous period in colonial America. The book details the formation of the Friendly Association, which aimed to counter the violence and land grabbing that threatened to disrupt the fragile relationship between settlers and native inhabitants. The author weaves a narrative that explores the complex political landscape of the time, highlighting the tensions between the Proprietaries of Pennsylvania and the Provincial Assembly, as well as the increasing influence of the French in the region. The book illuminates the Quakers' commitment to non-violent resolutions, their efforts to advocate for peaceful treaties with native tribes, and the challenges they faced in a society often driven by greed and expansion. The author examines the Quakers' strategy of promoting peace through direct communication, diplomacy, and material aid. The text reveals how the Friendly Association engaged with key figures in government, including Governor Morris and Governor Denny, and highlights their interactions with Native American leaders like Teedyuscung. The book is a poignant reminder of the historical complexities of inter-cultural relations and the power of peaceful engagement in a time of conflict. The author's account serves as a testament to the Quakers' unwavering belief in the power of pacification and their ongoing efforts to navigate a world fraught with violence and prejudice.
