[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4916070, member: 18222"] There might have been a few Quakers but they did not believe in Wars and killing other people. [B]Quakers[/B] in the [B]Civil War[/B] seems like an inherently contradictory idea; the Society of Friends practices pacifism and nonviolence, and, for many, putting money or resources toward [B]war[/B] efforts goes against the faith. ... Friends had to decide which was the greater sin: violence or slavery. [B]Quaker[/B] military service in the [B]Civil War[/B] is perhaps the most glaring oversight by scholars of that great conflict. A brief review of the historical literature is illustrative. In The Quiet Rebels, Margaret H. Bacon states that only two or three hundred [B]Quakers[/B] enlisted in the entire Union Army. [/QUOTE]
