‘Twas Seeding Time: A Mennonite View of the American Revolution

• Details

  Whose side will you be on?
  Will you fight for that side?
  Those were the questions facing Pennsylvania Mennonites as the
  North American colonies fought for independence from King
  George III.
  e colonial patriots wanted all able-bodied men to respond to
  the call to arms, or if conscience prevented that, to contribute
  liberally of their means to the patriots’ cause.
  But what about their promise of loyalty to the king, who had provided them a haven of religious liberty, the likes of which they
  had not known in Europe? Would the patriots destroy the right
  of military exemption promised to the nonresistant people by
  William Penn?
  As the war dragged on, the Mennonites faced another di cult
  question. While trying to keep peace with their neighbors, would
  they be able to keep peace among themselves?
  In this new edition of John L. Ruth’s classic work, you will learn
  about the struggles, triumphs, and human foibles of a peaceful
  community caught in the cross re of the Revolutionary War.
