Excerpt from The Quakers in New England: An Essay Now, it is true, that what is called the offensive speech and behavior of the Quakers was a feature of the contest; but I believe I can show that the Quaker theology is precisely that which the Govern ment of New England most violently opposed; and that their fear of it was the primary cause of the dreadful persecution which followed the advent of the Quakers.

Richard Hallowell was born on December 16, 1835, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, the son of Morris Longstreth and Hannah Smith (Penrose) Hallowell. He descended from John Hallowell who came from Nottinghamshire, England, to Pennsylvania in 1682 or 1683.
Richard Hallowell attended Haverford School (later Haverford College) from 1849 to 1853.
Hallowell was a wool commission-merchant during most of his active business life, first in Philadelphia, but after 1857 in Boston. His home after his marriage was at West Medford, Massachusetts. He was for a time a director of the National Bank of Commerce, a trustee of the Medford Savings Bank, a selectman of the town of Medford, vice-president of the New England Woman Suffrage Association, and treasurer of the Free Religious Association.
Richard's religious and family connections made it natural for him to dedicate himself in early life to the anti-slavery cause. He broke his first business connection in Philadelphia because his firm dealt in slave-made products from the South. Hallowell joined the Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery and became an active leader in the anti-slavery agitation in Philadelphia and later in Boston. With others he went to Harper’s Ferry in 1859 to receive the body of John Brown after the execution and escort it to North Elba, New York, for interment.
Departing from the strict peace tenets of the Society of Friends, he became actively engaged early in the Civil War in recruiting for the famous colored regiments, the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Volunteers. He was treasurer of the recruiting fund and later was engaged actively and successfully in securing proper remuneration for the members of these regiments. When feeling was running high on the slavery question he served occasionally as a member of an informal bodyguard for William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips at public meetings. After the Civil War Hallowell spent time and money for the uplift of the colored race and was especially interested in the establishment of schools for colored people in the South.
Apart from his business and philanthropic interests, Hallowell found time to indulge a taste for historical study. He had a good literary style, and became deeply interested in the early history of Quakerism in New England. In 1870 he published The Quakers in New England. His chief work, The Quaker Invasion of Massachusetts, which ran through four editions between 1883 and 1887, is a virile defense of the Quakers, a story of their persecutions at the hands of New England Puritans, and a criticism of their critics. A shorter work, The Pioneer Quakers (1886), is in the same tone but brings the story down to 1724, about fifty years beyond the limits of the earlier volume. His last publication was a pamphlet entitled Why the Negro Was Enfranchised (1903), containing two letters first printed in the Boston Herald, March 11 and 26, 1903.
Richard Hallowell was an active leader in the anti-slavery agitation in Philadelphia and in Boston. During the Civil War, he was a special agent recruiting African American soldiers. After the War's end, he campaigned for the passage of the 15th Amendment granting African American men the right to vote. Hallowell also was a trustee of the Calhoun Colored School, Alabama and was a manager of the Home for Aged Colored Women in Boston.
