I LOVE this!!!! My father was born in Aulander in 1918 in Snakebite Township, but he raised me in Baltimore, Maryland. The first Quaker meeting house still stands on a corner near Johns Hopkins. Maryland was established as a Jesuit Slave Province, but they call that the "Free State" and to see that your first Quaker built a brick house and it has the name "White" on it makes me think Jesuit Father Andrew White. If a salesman came to you that dealt in human cargo and held the beliefs of an Ancient God.... they could get you to believe anything - even that slaves would increase business. I have a story about what Francis Scott Key was peddling on the people and THAT did teach people an unquestionable religion. Much Love from Baltimore - what happened during that time? A suppression from 1773-1814

Thank you for sharing the characteristics of Quakers. I have Quaker ancestors from Yadkin County, but all I knew about them was that they were pacifists. Being primarily Moravian, which was also known as a pacifist sect, it's interesting to see how pacifist religious sects addressed the issue of slavery. Puritans of the Puritans? Wow!
