The correct answer is: true The Quakers (Friendship Society of Friends) were persecuted for not taking off their hats in court, refusing to swear to the court, for traveling on the so-called Christian Sabbath and for walking like vagabonds. In the following decades some escaped persecution by emigrating to American colonies.
