Abstract

This is a historical survey of Quakers in the United States and their responses to war during World War I, World War II, and the early Cold War, including the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. It covers the Quaker peace testimonyâs social, political, legal, and theological aspects. In these conflicts, Quakers responded in a variety of ways, ranging from pacifism to support for military action. The boundaries and constraints of Quaker beliefs about violent conflict and the meaning of the peace testimony were determined by debates within the Religious Society of Friends. Quakersâ reactions to war in the twentieth-century United States should also be understood as closely related to Quakerismâs relationship to state power. The choice to accommodate or resist government pressure worked alongside internal forces to shape Quakerism in the United States. Ultimately, this work argues that there is no single pattern of Quaker response to modern war.
