From Quaker to Upper Canadian: Faith and Community among Yonge Street Friends, 1801-1850
Robynne Rogers HealeyIn 1801 a group of Quakers settled at the north end of Yonge Street in what is now Toronto, purposefully separating themselves from mainstream society in order to live out their faith free from the larger society. Yet in 1837, Quakers were among the most active participants in the Upper Canadian Rebellion, for which one of their leaders, Samuel Lount, was hanged.
