Character Role: Quaker

Your religion tells you that slavery is wrong, and you are strongly in favor of abolition. You may be a farmer in the area of Maryland or Pennsylvania or you may work in the city as a skilled laborer. Although you are not a Conductor, you know that other Quakers are involved in the Underground Railroad. You speak out against slavery whenever you can. You think it is wrong to keep human beings in bondage as slaves. You also do not believe in violence of any kind. The stories that are coming to you of the way slaves are treated make you shake with outrage.
