Arch Street Meeting House

The Religious Society of Friends has been known as a pacifist faith—yet throughout time, Quakers have both embraced this belief and broken from it. This program highlights Betsy Ross and Samuel Nicholas, two Quakers who joined the branch known as Free Quakers, as well as some of their Quaker contemporaries who remained Loyalist to the cause. How did their faith impact their response to the Revolution? Presented in partnership with Arch Street Meeting House.
