Lucretia Mott (1793‐1880)

was a Quaker who was committed to black emancipation and women’s rights. Because of her opposition to violence of any kind, Mott did not support the Civil War as a means of liberating slaves. She did, however, welcome the War’s acceleration of emancipation.

I will oppose it with all the moral powers with which I am endowed. I am no advocate of passivity.”
