Question

One member of this group hid fake blood inside a “Bible-like book” that he stabbed with a hidden sword 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.” (10[1])One member of this group negotiated his colony’s first land purchase treaty with the Lenape in 1682. (10[2])That man established a “Holy Experiment” as a safe haven for this group after receiving a land grant from Charles II. For 10 points, name this famously nonviolent religious group that included William Penn and was also known as the “Society of Friends.” ■END■

ANSWER: Quakers [accept Society of Friends until read] (The first line refers to Benjamin Lay.)
