Religion and the Quakers The official religion of England in the 1600’s was the Church of England. However, some people wanted to join other Christian churches, such as the Puritans and the Quakers. These other churches were considered illegal and people could be put in jail for joining them. The Quakers believed that there shouldn't be any religious rituals in a church. They also refused to fight in any war, believed in religious freedom for all, and were against slavery. Life as a Quaker William Penn became a Quaker when he was twenty-two. It was not easy for him. He was arrested for attending Quaker meetings, but was released because of his famous father, an Admiral in the British Navy. However, his father was not happy with him and forced him out of the house. He became homeless and lived with other Quaker families for a while. Later, Penn's father became ill. His father had grown to respect his son's beliefs and courage. He left Penn a large fortune when he died.
A
Free Land William Penn envisioned Pennsylvania to be a Quaker land, but also a free land. He wanted freedom for all religions and a safe place for persecuted minorities to live. He also wanted peace with the Native Americans and hoped they could live together as "neighbors and friends." In 1682, William Penn and around one hundred Quaker settlers arrived in Pennsylvania. They established the city of Philadelphia. Penn had designed the city which had streets laid out in a grid. The city and the colony was a success. Led by Penn, the new government protected the rights of the citizens and maintained peace with the local Native Americans. By 1684, there were around 4,000 people living in the colony.
Pennsylvania Charter With the conditions for Quakers getting worse in England, Penn came up with a plan. He went to the king and proposed that the Quakers should leave England and have their own colony in the Americas. The king liked the idea and gave Penn a charter for a large tract of land in North America. At first the land was called Sylvania, which means "woods", but it was later named Pennsylvania in honor of William Penn's father.
