William Penn was a man who stood for true religious freedom, and during his time only one colony practiced this, and lead a group of Quakers and treated the Native American equal. The Quakers are a Christian denomination similar to The Amish and Mennonite and that strongly stand for peace and separation of church and state. William was working towards making his colony a model for the world to have peace, religious liberty, and justice. He was given the land that he founded as his colony and later became the state of Pennsylvania directly by King George of England because he owed his deceased father.
