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 “The 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 (-5[1])(*) “Public Universal.” One member of this group negotiated his colony’s first land purchase treaty with the Lenape in 1682. That man established (10[1])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 (10[1])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.)
