Question

One member of this group hid fake blood inside a “Bible-like book” that he stabbed with a hidden sword (15[1])to protest hypocrisy among this group’s members. A thinker who belonged to this group argued that slavery resulted from the misapplication of power and was “inconsistent with the Christian religion” in his posthumously published “Journal of John Woolman.” A split in this group was led by a figure who claimed to have died and been reborn genderless with the title (*) “Public Universal.” One member of this group negotiated his colony’s first land purchase treaty with the Lenape in 1682. (10[1])That man established a “Holy Experiment” as a safe haven for this group after receiving a land grant from Charles II. (10[1])For 10 points, name this famously nonviolent religious (10[1])group that included William Penn and was also known as the “Society of Friends.” ■END■
