It is as impossible to fully set forth the power and effects of this new religion as to trace the airy road of the meteor.-- Valentine Rathbun, 1781Zaddock Wright lived in Canterbury, New Hampshire, at the start of the Revolutionary War. Unlike his neighbors, he was a royalist and refused to take up arms against the king. According to an early chronicle he fled to Canada “to avoid the dangers to which his political principles exposed him” but was arrested when he returned for his family and thrown into prison in Albany.Before his incarceration Zaddock Wright had been deeply affected by the religious revival that, like the Revolution, was sweeping across New England. He was “under great exercise of mind concerning the work of God,” and was also “in great tribulation” over his family, his estate, and the Revolution.At the same time, several cells away, a woman named Ann Lee was being held, accused of treason against the new government. Zaddock knew of her; she was a prophet, the English leader of a tiny radical sect of Christians called the Shakers. Her small group had recently “opened the testimony” on the frontier near Albany and ignited a wildfire of disruption and religious fervor.Round Barn and Poultry House, Shaker village, Hancock, MARound Barn and Poultry House, Shaker village, Hancock, MA. Photo Credit: Ken Burns, Florentine Films.Zaddock spoke with Mother Ann, as her followers called her, through the grates of his cell, and informed her of his “embarrassments.” “You will be delivered,” she told him. “Gold will deliver you.” Although this seemed unlikely to Zaddock, the declaration “made a forcible impression upon his feelings.” They spoke at length about the Revolution. Ann Lee taught him to “view the subject from a different light than what he had done, and convinced him that it was the providential work of God to open the way for the Gospel.” Zaddock agreed that it would be impossible for England to win. “The hand of God was in the Revolution,” he wrote, “and America must be separated from the English government and become a land of liberty for the gospel’s sake.”Within a year, Zaddock was freed from the prison and returned to his family, as Ann Lee predicted. He joined the Shakers and “continued faithfully to the end of his days.”One afternoon I was at a neighbor’s house when two young women attired in Shaker costumes appeared at the rear door. They said the Shakers always lived according to their profession, were honest and upright, but that they did not wish to live a celibate life any longer. A strange sensation seemed to creep over me, and something like a voice said, “Why listen to them? Go to the Shakers. See for yourself who and what they are.”-- Eldress Antoinette Doolittle, 1824They called themselves the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, but because of their ecstatic dancing the world called them the Shakers.The Shakers were celibate, they did not marry or bear children, yet theirs is the most enduring religious experiment in American history. Seventy-five years before the emancipation of the slaves and one hundred fifty years before women began voting in America, the Shakers were practicing social, sexual, economic, and spiritual equality for all members.The Shakers were ordinary people who chose to give up their families, property, and worldly ties in order “to know, by daily experience, the peaceable nature of Christ’s kingdom.” In return, they were welcomed into “holy families” where men and women lived as brother and sister, where all property was held in common, and where each participated in the rigorous daily task of transforming the earth into heaven.Shakerism was founded by an illiterate English factory worker named Ann Lee.

Nothing that we humans, that mortals do.”
