Ohio Peace Society

☮ Tidlig historisk amerikansk fredsgruppe; grundlagt i 1815 i Warren Country som en af de første fredsforeninger i USA.
'Juledag 1814, publicerede den ærværdige menighedspræst Dr. Noah Worcester, en godt skrevet brochure med titlen "En højtidelig Gennemgang af Krigens Kutymer", der blev offentliggjort i Boston - et vækkende trompetstød, som i årevis var det vigtigste fredspropaganda - et af de mest betydningsfulde dokumenter som skabte mange fredsforeninger i dette land og i Storbritannien. Nogle herrer, der havde læst denne "højtidelige Gennemgang" dannede den anden december 1815, Ohio Fredsforening, i Warren regionen i Ohio. Dagen efter jul samme år underskrev 22 personer Massachusetts fredsforenings forfatning'.
Senere blev organisationen kaldet Warren County Peace Society. Blandt de aktive i organisationen kam nævnes underviseren og præsten Thomas Newport (6. december 1759-1842). Fredsforeningen udgav tidsskriftet the Friend of Peace, I-VIII, skrevet og redigeret Philo Pacificus, Author of "A Solemn Review on the Custom of War."[Noah Worcester]. Printed and Published by Williams and Mason, Cincinnati, for the Warren County (Ohio) Peace Society.
On Christmas day, 1814, the venerable Dr. Noah Worcester, a Congregational minister, published in Boston an ably written brochure, entitled "A Solemn Review of the Custom of War," which came like an awakening trumpet blast, and which for years was the chief document of the peace propaganda, and one of the leading influences which brought about the organization of many peace societies in this country and in Great Britain. Some gentlemen who had read this " Solemn Review" formed the Ohio Peace Society, Warren Co., Ohio, the second of December, 1815. The day after Christmas of the same year twenty-two persons signed the Constitution of the Massachusetts Peace Society. Official report of the fifth Universal peace congress held at Chicago, USA, August 14 to 20, 1893, under the auspices of the World's congress auxiliary of the World's Columbian exposition.
