USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Followers of Fox, Quakers, believed that all men and women were equal in the eyes of God and should listen to their “inner light” or conscience to guide their spiritual connection with God and the Bible.

Detailed explanation-2: -As everyone knows, Quakers were and are pacifists, in most cases refusing to bear arms during conflict. They refused to remove their hats to those in authority or who were considered financially and socially their superior. They refused this practice because Quakers believed all men were equal.

Detailed explanation-3: -One small Christian denomination played an outsized role in the women’s suffrage movement, particularly in upstate New York. The Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers, provided an equal role for women since its founding in 16th century England.

Detailed explanation-4: -Quakers seek to experience God directly, within ourselves and in our relationships with others and the world around us. Quakerism is a way of life, rather than a set of beliefs. It has roots in Christianity and many Quakers find the life and teachings of Jesus inspirational, but we have no creed.
