One notable exception to this was Jeremiah Dixon, of the Mason-Dixon line. From Wikipedia:

> "Jeremiah Dixon, happening upon a slave driver mercilessly beating a poor black woman. 'Thou must not do that!' he shouted. 'You be damned! Mind your own business,' came the reply. 'If thou doesn't desist, I'll thrash thee!'

> Tall and powerful, Jeremiah seized the slave-driver's whip and gave him a soun thrashing. When he returned to Cockfield, the whip came too, and was one of the Quaker family's treasured possessions."

There are plenty of historical exceptions if you're going to nitpick, quakerism didn't adopt its antislavery stance at its inception.

Nitpick? No. I'm kind of a fan of Mason and Dixon and I think it's a great story.

Except Nixon. http://www.oldchathamquakers.org/blog/was-nixon-really-a-qua...

I believe there are kind of two flavors to Quakers — the more evangelical kind and then the cool ones.

I have only ever met the cool ones. They throw a good potluck.
