The First Official Protest Against Slavery in America

[Unkotare]

Was a document presented in Philadelphia in 1688 by the Quakers, who found the practice of slavery to be in opposition to The Golden Rule.

The Quakers are a bit odd, but they recognized early on a fundamental conflict with the principles upon which we would found our great nation, and because of which our eventual Union would nearly be torn asunder.

Very good point.

But, the people being enslaved were not considered human by their enslavers, so their protests were akin to a cow protesting being kept in a pen.

Slaves to the bible, they were. But that was by choice.

Your title says nothing about a document. You just used that document to pretend it was the first protest against slavery even though Black people had already revolted long before the document was written.

Doesnt really matter what the enslavers thought. Doesnt change the fact that the enslaved were the first to protest.
