Why did the Quakers settle in Pennsylvania
Quakers settled in Pennsylvania...founder of William PennWilliam Penn was the absolute proprietor of Pennsylvania (he held the royal charter) and had pronounced religious tolerance for all. Other colonies were often religiously linked and intolerant of religious views outside narrow limits.
