Extractions: It is now three hundred years since George Fox laid the foundation of the community of Quakers. It was during a time of civil war in England. a period filled with religious and political strife which led to the Protectorate under Cromwell. Today we would probably call it a dictatorship. The same thing happened then as on so many other occasions when a political or religious movement has been successful. It is apt to forget what it originally set out to achieve, namely its right to freedom. When the movement has come into power it will not grant to others what it struggled to obtain for itself. That is what happened in the case of the Presbyterians and in the case of the Independents after them. It was not the spirit of toleration and humanity that conquered. This was experienced by George Fox and many of his associates during the ensuing years, but they did not take up an armed fight such as the custom is among men. They went their own quiet way because they were opposed to any use of force. They believed that in the long run spiritual weapons would lead to victory, and this belief had been acquired through inward experience. What they regarded as important was life itself and not the forms it assumed. Formalities, theories and doctrines have never been a matter of importance to them, and, therefore, from the outset, they have been a community without any strict organization. This has given the movement an inner strength, a more unbiased view of their fellow men, and a greater degree of toleration towards others than is found in most organized religious communities.

Civil War Links - Underground Railroad
Some 50,000 North Carolinians left the state and moved to Ohio or Indiana in protest to slavery during the thirty years before the Civil War is not widely known. As the frustration with more restrictive and harsh laws over slaves and slave owning were passed, some quakers, like Levi Coffin, began to illegally assist escaping slaves to flee the state.

Many aspects of Quakerism are represented; from art and architecture to beliefs and social activism.

A variety of sources have been consulted and house the original documents indexed here. This site is not the originator of the information that is linked to. Many thanks to the countless individuals who collect and make Quaker information available on the web, including The Quaker Information Center The Religious Society of Friends , the Quaker Electronic Archive , the American Friends Service Committee and Bill Samuel's Home Page . If you have any additions to this index, please do not hesitate to contact me as updates will occur regularly.

I don't know what to say or where to start on breeding or rearing parrots, there's so much that can be said. Everything we learn is from trial and error. We have been interested in and kept birds for over 10yrs as a hobby. We also have a lot of books and asked a lot of people questions and still do. I don't think I'll ever know too much on the subject when it comes to aviculture. All I can really suggest is if you found a way that works for you stick to it don't start messing round this could only lead to problems. This is something we do for fun and we enjoy Parrots. We have a good Supply of calcium for our birds.
