The Expulsion of the Quakers from Massachusetts, 1660 - A Glimpse into a Dark Chapter in American History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures an engraving depicting "The Expulsion of the Quakers from Massachusetts, 1660". Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this powerful image offers us a window into a dark chapter in American history. Intriguingly detailed, the scene showcases boats filled with Quaker men and women being forcibly expelled from Massachusetts. Their faces reflect both resilience and sorrow as they are torn away from their homes and communities due to religious persecution. The composition evokes a sense of tension as tugboats symbolize authority figures enforcing this unjust expulsion. Dating back to March 1884 when it was published in The Graphic magazine, this illustration sheds light on one aspect of early colonial America's intolerance towards religious diversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that freedom of religion was not always upheld during these formative years. Today, we can look upon this image with empathy and understanding for those who suffered at the hands of discrimination. It stands as a testament to our progress towards embracing diversity and upholding fundamental human rights. Let us remember this historical event so that we may continue striving for inclusivity and acceptance within our society.
