William Penn founded Pennsylvania primarily as a refuge for Quakers and other religious minorities seeking freedom from persecution. He aimed to create a society based on principles of religious tolerance, democratic governance, and fair treatment of Native Americans. Penn's vision was to establish a "Holy Experiment" where diverse beliefs could coexist peacefully. This commitment to liberty and equality attracted a variety of settlers to the colony.
