When William Penn founded Pennsylvania, he provided refuge primarily for Quakers, a religious group that faced persecution in England. His vision of a colony based on religious freedom and tolerance attracted various other religious minorities as well, including Mennonites, Baptists, and Catholics. This commitment to religious liberty made Pennsylvania a model for pluralism and coexistence in the New World.
Most of the religious groups who settled in colonial Virginia were Anglicans and other Protestant denominations.
