The history of pacifism in America is explored from colonial times to World War I, highlighting the struggles of immigrant peace sects like Quakers, Mennonites, and Dunkers in a hostile environment. The narrative examines the emergence of peace societies post-1815, particularly the American Peace Society and Garrison's New England Non-Resistance Society. It also addresses their responses to the Civil War, the postwar neglect of pacifism, and the revival efforts leading up to World War I, enriched by personal accounts of individual pacifists.
