Quakers

The main contribution to American civic principles observed by the Quakers were their practice of great tolerance of other religions. Their ideals for equality and cooperation also supported the American ideals of the time, but they were mostly scorned by Puritans and Anglicans.

Originally by boat like most other North American Settlers, for at least the least the last half century they have tended to travel by aeroplane.

The religious society of friends, commonly known as Quakers. Their main doctrine concentrates on the individual experience of God, or 'God within'. It is permitted, even encouraged, to develop your own religious beliefs flowing out of your experiences of God. The religious society of friends have distanced themselves from any of the mainstream Christian movements (ie: Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism) and their doctrines and therefore you'll find huge differences between Quaker rituals around the world. Quaker involvement in the development of Pennsylvania can all be traced to one man: William Penn.

Puritans were English Protestant reformers who followed the teachings of John Calvin. They were given the name "puritans" because they wanted to purify the Church of England of Catholic beliefs and practices. They believed that human nature was inherently depraved and that all men and women bore the guilt of Adam and Eve's original sin. Pilgrims were separatists. They believe the Church of England was too corrupt to be reformed. They felt that Christians who were "saved" should separate themselves from those who were damned. The "Saints" should only worship with those who have been saved, not with "sinners".

The guiding principles of the Quakers have been peace, mutual cooperation, learning, friendship and brotherhood, freedom, and equality.

At the core of their beliefs is the notion from George Fox is that there is 'that of God' in all people.

The people referred to as Quakers are members of the Religious Society of Friends. This is usually shortened to "Friends" in most cases, but the term Quaker is not considered derogatory and can be used interchangeably.

Tey affected America by their beliefs because they were very rightous in their decisions like not joining war because they didn't want to kill people. And many other stuff like influneceing the Boston tea party.

They believe that any violence for any reason is wrong, just as Jesus taught. Most people who call themselves Christians do not follow Jesus' teachings in this regard.

They are a Christian Domination and therefore believe in the basic ideals of Christianity however:

Unlike other Christian denominations, some forms of Quakerism completely reject all forms of religious symbolism and outward sacraments, such as baptism or celebrating the Eucharist. Quakers also believe in continuing revelation, with the idea that God speaks directly to any person, without the need for any human intermediary. For this reason, many reject the idea of priests or holy people, but believe in the priesthood of all believers, and reject the doctrine of sola scriptura. The idea of the Inner Light, or Inward Light of Christ is important to many Quakers: the idea that there is that of God within everyone, guiding them through their lives.

Because it was established as a Colony to provide a refuge for European Quakers.

The mid-1600s. There is not an exact year because it evolved slowly with founder George Fox's beliefs developing in his early 20s, and then his preaching those beliefs. As the group formed, they were first called 'Friends of Truth' and later simply 'Friends'. Some time after 1650 during one of Fox's court appearances, the judge sarcastically called him a "Quaker" which is the origin of the name.

So if we go by when Fox first developed his beliefs, it would be 1647. If we go by when the congregations were first founded it would be 1660 (though the group existed prior to that). So it's most accurate to simply say the mid 1600s.

No actually many (woman in particular) were VERY antislavery and did alot to help get rid of slavery.

Quakers, who are members of the Religious Society of Friends, hold jobs just like everyone else. In many cases these jobs are held for reasons of social conscience, but their belief that everything one does should be done in a way that is honorable before God led to them being viewed as honest businesspersons and honest workers. Historically, in a world a century or more ago before a "Better Business Bureau" existed, dealing with a Quaker was a way to make sure you got goods that were of good quality at a price that was fair and that the goods would not knowingly have been created on the backs of others less fortunate (i.e.: slave labour). This policy and good business sense made some Quakers wealthy (but certainly not all of them). However, it is often said today in Quaker historical circles that "The Quakers came to America to do good, and they did well".

So how did Quakers make money? The same way as everyone else, but especially with an eye open toward the social consequences of their work.

Yes, however the Quaker would have to agree to raise the children as Catholics.
