Warner Mifflin: Unflinching Quaker Abolitionist
By Gary B. Nash ’55 *64
Published Sept. 5, 2017
In 1788, Warner Mifflin was one of the founders of Delaware’s first abolition societies, and he was recognized internationally for his antislavery efforts, lobbying for abolition laws, laws preventing the kidnapping of free blacks, and abolition of the slave trade. However, he is virtually unknown today. Gary B. Nash rediscovers this pioneer in Warner Mifflin: Unflinching Quaker Abolitionist (University of Pennsylvania Press).
