In England, Quakers were excluded from many aspects of public life due to their refusal to conform to established religious practices and their pacifist beliefs. They faced persecution, including imprisonment and fines, for their nonconformity, particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries. Additionally, Quakers were often barred from holding public office and participating in the military, reflecting the broader societal intolerance towards dissenting religious groups during that period.
The statement "Quakers were loyal to the Church of England" is not true. Quakers, or the Religious Society of Friends, were known for their dissent from the Church of England and often faced persecution for their beliefs. They advocated for religious freedom and equality, which contrasted sharply with the established church's practices.
