The middle colonies
The Quakers and the Mennonites were two religious groups that openly condemned slavery in the American colonies.
Southern Colony
Quakers and Mennonites primarily settled in North America, particularly in Pennsylvania. Quakers, also known as the Religious Society of Friends, established colonies in the late 17th century under the leadership of William Penn. Mennonites, who trace their roots to the Anabaptist movement in Europe, also found refuge in Pennsylvania and other regions, seeking religious freedom and community. Both groups contributed to the region's cultural and religious diversity.
