Abstract:
Quaker beliefs conflicted with those of the Confederate Government during the Civil War. Opposition to war, a belief in the equality of all peoples, and freeing their slaves was not acceptable to authorities. Hostility and harassment forced 10,000 Quakers to leave North Carolina. By war's end, only 2,000 Quakers remained in the state.
