John Woolman : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Woolman
John Woolman (October 19, 1720 – October 7, 1772) was a North American merchant, tailor, journalist, and itinerant Quaker preacher, and an early abolitionist in the colonial era. Based in Mount Holly, New Jersey, near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he traveled through frontier areas of British North America to preach Quaker beliefs, and advocate against slavery and the slave trade, cruelty to animals, economic injustices and oppression, and conscription. From 1755 during the French and Indian War, he urged tax resistance to deny support to the military. In 1772, Woolman traveled to England, where he urged Quakers to support abolition of slavery. Woolman published numerous essays, especially against slavery. He kept a journal throughout his life; it was published posthumously, entitled ''The Journal of John Woolman'' (1774). Included in Volume I of the Harvard Classics since 1909, it is considered a prominent American spiritual work. The ''Journal'' has been continuously in print since 1774, published in numerous editions; the most recent scholarly edition was published in 1989. ==Biography==
