Religion: Quakers
Known as Friends or Quakers, the movement rejected priests, rituals, and upheld spiritual equality, allowing women to participate equally in worship. As pacifists, Quakers opposed war and war taxes, refused to bow to nobility, and declined to take oaths, leading to perceptions of disloyalty to the British Crown. Despite heavy persecution, including banned meetings and mass imprisonments, the movement continued to grow and spread.
