Best Answer

Quakers were the pioneers in the anti-slavery movement, first speaking out against slavery in 1688. Four Dutch Quakers sent a petition to the monthly meeting of Quakers, calling for the abolishment of slavery. No action was taken on this petition due to the Quaker's commercial interests.
