X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <h3>*Please note this lecture has been cancel
 led.*</h3><h3>Speaker: Priya Satia (Stanford)</h3><p>The biggest gun-making
  firm in 18th-century Britain was owned by a Quaker family\, the Galtons of
  Birmingham. They were major suppliers of guns to the slave trade in West A
 frica\, the East India Company\, settlers and trading companies in North Am
 erica\, and the British government. But a core principle of the Quaker fait
 h is belief in the un-Christian nature of war. How\, then\, do we explain t
 he Galtons?</p><p>In probing the Galton's conscience and the Quaker communi
 ty's shifting judgment\, Prof. Satia will assess the difficulty of avoiding
  participation in war in 18th century British industrial society\, whatever
  one's principles. The Galton story reveals a hidden truth about the role o
 f war in the Industrial Revolution.</p><p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-
