Channel: DelawareHistory
Date: 2020-12-04

Warner Mifflin was a giant of an 18th century Quaker abolitionist. He petitioned legislatures. He wrote to congressmen, governors and presidents. His personal beliefs about the ills of slavery led him on a crusade from North Carolina to New England to end the practice. He believed it was a blight on the nation and that America would pay for the sin of slavery if it was not abolished.
