Deep Dive on “How Quakers Invented America” with Max Carter
On July 7th, we hosted a supporter-exclusive deep dive with Quaker historian Max Carter. Our original interview for “How Quakers Invented America” left over an hour of incredible tape on the cutting room floor, so we brought Max back to let him loose on all those fascinating tangents. Max unpacked the messy reality behind William Penn’s treaties with Native Americans, the stubborn justifications that delayed Quaker abolition, the wild ways pacifists dodged the military draft, and the surprising Quaker roots of your morning coffee. Audio of the event is available above. Video of the event is available on Youtube.
