More about the book
The book explores the Quaker Party's 1764 campaign to transition Pennsylvania from a proprietary to a royal government, highlighting its significance in the broader context of colonial resistance to George III. James Hutson analyzes the Quaker-dominated Assembly's frustration with Thomas Penn's rigid governance, reflecting the colony's economic, political, and social maturation. By advocating for royal government, influenced by Benjamin Franklin, the Quakers sought a more flexible political framework, setting the stage for future revolutionary sentiments.
