On the one hand, following his conscience and becoming a Quaker was an act of extreme bravery. They were still killing and banishing Quakers in those years.

On the other, King Philip's war was an incredibly shameful act by the English. I say that as someone who also had at least one English ancestor killed in the fighting.

That RhodeTour link is awesome! Thank you.

Have a great day.
