Francis Pastorius, a German-American lawyer and the founder of Germantown, Pennsylvania, is known for his early opposition to slavery. In 1688, he and other members of the Germantown Quakers wrote a petition against slavery, making one of the first recorded objections to the practice in the American colonies. His writings and actions indicate that he did not support slavery and sought to promote the idea of freedom for all individuals.
