Shaker religious liberty battle shapes New Hampshire history
In 1848 New Hampshire faced a push to curb Shaker influence as Rep. Asa Fowler led a petition with 508 signatures to restrict Shaker families. Franklin Pierce argued four hours for freedom of conscience, preserving Shaker rights against forced separations and punitive laws. The House approved the measure, but the Senate indefinitely postponed it, ending hostile legislation against the Shakers in New Hampshire.
