This paper was also an anti-Slavery paper. <br /> <br /> From wikipedia: The New England Non-Resistance Society was an American peace group founded at a special peace convention organized by William Lloyd Garrison in Boston in September 1838.1 Leading up to the convention conservative members of the American Anti-Slavery Society and the American Peace Society expressed discomfort with Garrison's philosophy of "non-resistance" and inclusion of women in public political activities. After conservative attendees opposing Garrison walked out of the convention in protest those remaining formed the New England Non-Resistance Society.citation needed<br /> <br /> The Society condemned the use of force in resisting evil in war for the death penalty or in self-defense renounced allegiance to human government and because of the anti-slavery cause favored non-union with the American South.citation needed The New England Non-Resistance Society was one of the more radical of the many organizations founded by William Lloyd Garrison adopting a Declaration of Sentiments of which he was the principal author pledging themselves to deny the validity of social distinctions based on race nationality or gender"2 refusing obedience to human governments and opposing even individual acts of self-defense.3 In the Society's Declaration of Sentiments Garrison wrote "any person without distinction of sex or color who consents to the principles of this Constitution may become a member and be entitled to speak at its meetings."1 The Society rejected loyalty to any human government; one historian has described the Non-Resistance Society's "basic outlook as that of philosophical anarchism".45.

184286607Newcastle & London: J. Barker / Charles Gilpin 1842. First Edition. First impression. Penny pamphlet 19cm x 12cm. Sewn self-wrappers; 24pp. Sewing perished; mild wear at corners; still complete and Very Good. Publisher's imprint printed vertically at bound edge of first page of text. <br /> <br /> A tract on pacifist non-resistance with strong anti-statist content - a clear presentation of the proto-anarchist Christianity of militant pacifist-abolitionists of the era of which Wright and Barker were exemplars. Wright 1797-1870 a defrocked Presbyterian minister would become one of the most radical American voices for abolitionism and pacifism in the years before the Civil War even being ejected from the American Anti-Slavery Society for espousing too radical an abolitionist viewpoint. Joseph Barker 1806-1875 a British controvertialist clergyman who like Wright had been rejected by his denomination was in many ways Wright's analogue in Great Britain espousing a militant interpretation of Christ's teachings that repudiated all entities that survived upon compulsion of their members - including enslavement marriage most religion and government itself. Barker would later relocate to the United States where he became a leader of the abolitionist cause in Ohio before returning to England just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. The present pamphlet very scarce; not traced in commerce with only five physical holdings noted in OCLC. J. Barker / Charles Gilpin unknown
