It was settled in 1627, and colonists soon began to plant tobacco and then sugar. I have had on my mind whether Quaker slave owners used slaves to build meeting houses and schools. In reality there is no “black” or “white” as we have descended from the same parents. There was a large Quaker presence on Barbados, where thousands of Friends lived. Upon further study, they were former slave owners. I’ll start with the missionaries. I teach in North Carolina, History among several things. This is important not just for Quakers to read, but for everyone, in order to understand more deeply the roots of “whiteness,” and its connection to Protestant Supremacy in the colonies. And, “Many are called but few are chosen.” Since Adam and Eve people have used religion to justify their own evil thoughts and deeds. It helps to identify where we have drawn our political and social boundaries, to further our power and control over others, and helps to educate us on how to do better!

Quakers have engaged in work to end war and mitigate the effects of war, prison reform, racial and economic justice, and care for the earth and all its inhabitants. Two Quaker missionaries, named Ann Austin and Mary Fisher, landed on the island in 1655 and successfully converted—or “convinced” in Quaker parlance—several island residents.
