Manumission Society of North Carolina

Description

The Manumission Society of North Carolina was founded in 1816 by anti-slavery Quakers. Though most of the organization’s membership belonged to the Society of Friends, its membership grew to include Protestants and slave-owners. The society established branches throughout the state, collectively meeting once a year to discuss their activities.
