War Taxes, Experiences of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Quakers through the American Revolution
This pamphlet is a result of work done for a master's thesis in religious studies at Villanova University in 1986, titled "War Taxes: The Experiences of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Quakers. 1681-1800." The thesis elaborates on particulars mentioned here and includes extensive endnotes. It is available at the Quaker Collection of Haverford College. Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College, and the Villanova University Library.
During the years 168l to 1800, Philadelphia Yearly Meeting members considered the war tax issue many times as a religious concern based on the Friends Peace Testimony of 1660.2 Believing that the Spirit of Christ is always available to transform and use any person, Friends responded to this testimony individually and corporately. Initially, the particular issues and concerns raised by the Peace Testimony were a matter between each Friend and God. The evolution of the Peace Testimony follows naturally the tender leadings of individual Friends, the letters of concern from monthly and quarterly meetings, the newly created place of formal Advice and Discipline within the Society of Friends beginning in the mid 1700s, and increased political awareness by the Yearly Meeting. The struggles, occasional unity, love and courage of Friends who preceded us are offered here as a witness to challenge and encourage Friends today.
