Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the emergence of an American Quaker society which finds itself on the front lines of a legal dispute over wartime conscription. While in America, Quaker identity and religious practice had required pacifism and conscientious objection to war, many in the community struggle when the newly formed American government conscripts all young people for the war effort. Using extensive research into primary documents and historical records, this text places the Quaker community's agonizing decision within the greater context of the American Revolution, discussing the themes of war, pacifism, legalism, Christianity, and national allegiance that so influenced the Quaker response to the crisis. The author argues that the Quakers' spiritual and theological beliefs were radically challenged by this new American law, which not only compelled them to challenge their religious doctrine but also to re-examine their own identity as Quakers in the midst of a new nation where their legal and religious rights were still being defined.
