More about the book
The book explores the evolution of pacifism in America from colonial times to World War I, highlighting the struggles of immigrant peace sects like the Quakers, Mennonites, and Dunkers in a challenging environment. It delves into the formation of peace societies post-1815, particularly the American Peace Society and Garrison's New England Non-Resistance Society. The narrative examines their responses to the Civil War, the postwar neglect of pacifism, and a resurgence before World War I, interwoven with personal stories of individual pacifists.
