''Account Of The Slavery Of Friends In The Barbary States: Towards The Close Of The Seventeenth Century'' is a historical book written by George Fox. The book provides a detailed and eye-opening account of the slavery of Quakers (also known as Friends) in the Barbary States during the late 17th century. The author, who was a prominent Quaker leader and founder of the Religious Society of Friends, wrote about his first-hand experiences with the Barbary pirates who captured and enslaved numerous Quakers during their voyages. The book provides a vivid description of the harsh and inhumane treatment that the Quaker slaves endured, including forced labor, physical abuse, and sexual exploitation. Fox also sheds light on the efforts made by the Quaker community to secure the release of their fellow believers, as well as the political and diplomatic struggles they faced in dealing with the Barbary States. Overall, ''Account Of The Slavery Of Friends In The Barbary States'' is a powerful and informative account of a little-known chapter in Quaker history and the broader history of slavery in the Mediterranean region. It highlights the bravery and resilience of the Quaker community in the face of adversity, while also exposing the cruelty and injustice of the slave trade.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
