More about the book

The campaign by the Quaker Party in 1764 aimed to transition Pennsylvania from a proprietary to a royal government, reflecting early resistance to British rule. James Hutson explores the political landscape of Pennsylvania, highlighting the Quaker Assembly's frustration with Thomas Penn's rigid governance. As the colony evolved economically and socially, the Quakers sought a more flexible government, guided by Benjamin Franklin's counsel. This narrative provides insight into the political dynamics leading to the American Revolution.
