Ballou, Adin

F. 1803 D.1890
Amerikansk borgerrettighedsforkæmper og pacifist. Medlem af New England Non-Resistance Society og det socialistiske Hopedale community i 1841. Fra 1843 fungerede han som formand for New England Non-resistence Society. Han arbejdede sammen med sin ven William Lloyd Garrison, indtil de brød over Garrison's støtte til vold i kampen mod slaveriet. I 1846 Ballou udgav sit hovedværk om pacifisme, Christian non-Resistance. Ballou var også involveret i Universal Peace Union der blev grundlagt i 1866. Under borgerkrigen, stod Ballou ved hans pacifistiske synspunkter, selv når andre kristne pacifistske ledere ikke gjorde det. Friends of Adin Ballou og og Unitarian Universalist Peace Fellowship Adin Ballou Award er opkaldt efter ham.
