Climate and Geography
Climate
The Pennsylvania Colony has very mild weather and climate. During summers, it is warm and relatively moist. Moisture from the air keeps it cool and humid as well as maintains a level of moisture in the ground, therefore making very suited for agriculture. Also, as an added bonus, the winters in the Pennsylvania Colony are not as harsh as others.
LocationAfter the English took control of New Sweden (that was what the mass of land was called before the English came), the king gave William Penn a charter that made him proprietor of Pennsylvania. Therefore, our colony is a proprietary colony, meaning the charter was granted for a specific opportunity (such as religion).
Here the charter that he was given is marked in brown. |
