Minutes of the Salem Peace Society, 1818-1826

This volume presents the minutes of the Salem Peace Society from 1818 to 1826, offering a valuable glimpse into the early peace movement in the United States. Founded in Salem, Indiana, the society was part of a broader wave of pacifist organizations that emerged in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812. These minutes reveal the society's activities, debates, and the individuals involved in promoting peace and non-violence within their community and beyond.

Bennett, "Minutes of the Salem Peace Society, 1818-1826" provides researchers and historians with primary source material to understand the development of peace advocacy, social reform movements, and local history in the early 19th century. The book sheds light on the motivations, challenges, and strategies employed by early American peace activists.
