Quaker Hill Preservation Center

  and the historical neighborhood has seen much
  development and change.

Anti-slavery

• Back in the early 1800s there were anti-slavery
  sewing circles for women who were against
  slavery. They would bake food and sew clothes for
  the slaves, and usually if your family wasnt
  Quaker, they wouldnt approve of the sewing
  circles.

My opinion

• If I lived back then I would have joined one of
  the Anti-slavery sewing circles.

10
Children

• A child born of a slave mother would
  automatically become a slave, unless the mother
  bought the child freedom, then the child would be
  free.
