The first religiously free colony in America was Pennsylvania, founded by William Penn in 1681. Penn, a Quaker, established the colony as a refuge for those seeking religious freedom, promoting principles of tolerance and coexistence among various faiths. This inclusive approach attracted a diverse population, including Quakers, Catholics, Lutherans, and Jews, making Pennsylvania a model of religious liberty in the New World.
