The Quakers were persecuted in England so their colony promoted religious tolerance.
I guess they mostly DID and still do, aim to live according to how they feel led according to their spiritual understanding.
The decline of the Quakers can be attributed to several key factors. Firstly, internal divisions emerged over theological interpretations and practices, leading to fragmentation within the community. Secondly, the industrial revolution and urbanization drew many Quakers away from their traditional agrarian lifestyles and values. Lastly, the rise of secularism and changing social dynamics diminished the Quakers' influence and visibility in society.
Quakers were a religious group that played a significant role in the start of the Abolitionist Movement. Their beliefs in equality and nonviolence led them to actively campaign against slavery and advocate for its abolition in the United States.
Because it was dominated by Quakers at the time whom believe in peace. This led the colony of Pennsylvania to be religiously tolerant because the Quakers would not war against other denominations and/or religions.
