Best Answer

The Society of Friends was founded in north-west England by George Fox, who originally used the name, 'Children of Light'. The denomination later became known as the Quakers, because at their meetings they sometimes shook with emotion. They were only granted freedom of worship in 1813, by which time many had migrated to America.
