SUMMARY:Author's Talk - Prisoners of Congress: Philadelphia's Quakers in Exile\, 1777-1778
DESCRIPTION:In 1777\, Congress labeled a group of Philadelphia Quakers who refused to help defend the city against the imminent invasion by British troops as “the most Dangerous Enemies America knows.” They ordered Pennsylvania to apprehend them. In response\, state officials sent twenty men—seventeen of them Quakers—into exile\, banishing them to Virginia\, where they were held for over seven months. Reconstructing this moment in American history through the experiences of four families—the Drinkers\, Fishers\, Pembertons and Gilpins—historian Norman Donoghue discusses how the Quakers\, once the preeminent power in Pennsylvania\, came to be reviled by patriots\, who feared the pacifists would divulge military intelligence to or otherwise collude with the enemy. \nRegistration is requested.
