William Penn- Founded our Pennsylvania Colony and provided religious freedom for the Quakers. King Charles II- Granted land for the Quakers in the New World for them to settle in an effort to repay his debt.
Reasons for Founding
Our colony was founded by William Penn and other Quakers for religious freedom. The Quakers are a religious group that had been persecuted for their religion until they moved to the New World. They don't acknowledge rank (refer to everyone in the same manner), refuse to take oaths, embrace pacifism, believe in religious freedom for everyone, and equality of genders.
