Episode 2: The Aftermath of the Germantown Protest
Early colonial Philadelphia was a place of contention. Colonists
had strong opinions about what this Quaker experiment should look like, and
they didn’t always agree. From its earliest days, Philadelphia was a diverse place
with class divisions, religious discord, and economic inequality. These
fractures in the young colony were intensified by the practice of slavery by
the wealthy Quaker elite. But Philadelphia was also a center of dogged, grass-roots
activism and resistance, especially in the newly founded settlement of
Germantown.
