Sinossi
Excerpt from The Conscript Quakers: Being a Narrative of the Distress and Relief of Four Young Men From the Draft for the War in 1863
Secretary Stanton received us cour teously, and we opened to him the object of our call; stated what the President had said as to whether or not any order had been issued to meet such cases. He replied, No, and there can be none. We set forth as well as we could the dis tress oi our young friends, in being called on for service in the war, which they could not in conscience perform. The Secre tary gave little or no encouragement that he could help us out of our troubles, but he told us that his own parents were Friends, and spoke of those they had liberated from Fort Delaware, of whom the President had told us; said that Thomas Evans (a Friend of Philadelphia whom we knew) came to Washington on their behalf, etc. The Provost Mar shal (fry) also treated us with much civility.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book records the accounts of several young Quaker men who were drafted into the army during the American Civil War. Their religious beliefs conflict with the violence and bloodshed, and they come into direct conflict with the government over their conscientious objection, seeking to be exempted from military service. The author, himself a Quaker, tells the narrative of how the young men were aided by members of the Society of Friends as they worked to gain exemption from the draft. The book goes on to relate the experiences of other Quaker men who were conscripted, and their similar struggles and difficulties with their beliefs and the demands of the war. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781332007639_0
