by John Woolman
'Journal of John Woolman' Summary
The Journal of John Woolman is a spiritual autobiography and a powerful indictment of slavery. Woolman, a Quaker minister, was born in New Jersey in 1720. He was a devout Christian who believed that all people were equal in the eyes of God. In his journal, Woolman describes his journey from a young man who was willing to participate in the slave trade to a passionate abolitionist who dedicated his life to fighting against slavery. Woolman's journal is a moving and inspiring account of one man's struggle for justice and equality. Woolman's writing is simple and direct, but it is also deeply moving and persuasive. He writes about his own experiences with slavery, and he also includes stories from other Quakers who have been involved in the abolitionist movement. Woolman's journal is a powerful reminder of the importance of fighting for what is right, even when the odds seem insurmountable.Book Details
