Who is the founding father of Pennsylvania?
It started when William Penn Jr. decided to go to King Charles II and ask for a land grant (during this time the exploration of the Western Hemisphere occurred) to the New World. William Penn's father, William Penn Sr. was a good friend of Charles II and on top of that the king was indebted to him. Since his father passed away, Penn Jr. took the land grant as the due for the debt owed to his father. King Charles gladly gave it to him for the reason that Penn Jr. was part of the Quakers and wanted to take all his friends over to the new world with him which would in Charles II view, help rid England of these people.
