About this title

Synopsis

The Conscript Quakers is a historical narrative written by Ethan Foster that tells the story of four young Quaker men who were drafted into the American Civil War in 1863. The book describes the distress and turmoil that the Quaker community faced as they were forced to choose between their religious beliefs and their duty to their country. The four young men, Edward, William, John, and Thomas, all refused to fight in the war due to their pacifist beliefs and were subsequently imprisoned. The book follows their journey as they face harsh conditions in prison and struggle to maintain their principles in the face of adversity. The narrative also explores the efforts of the Quaker community to support the young men and provide relief for their families during this difficult time. Ultimately, the book highlights the courage and resilience of these young Quaker men and their unwavering commitment to their beliefs. The Conscript Quakers is a powerful and thought-provoking account of a little-known aspect of the Civil War and a testament to the strength of the human spirit in times of crisis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
