Religion
Religion
• The Quakers are a Christian sect which have pushed for social reforms and
follow no rituals or sacraments, Quakers were harassed in England and
relocated to the colonies to seek refuge from the Christian society
• The Quakers (The Society of Friends) helped establish a liberal government
with no churches funded by taxes
• William Penn promoted religious tolerance and equality which led to a more
religiously diverse Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania isn’t dominated by any religion giving way for a more
religiously diverse community. The majority population of Pennsylvania are
Quakers, Jews, Lutherans, and Catholics. The most prominent religion was
the Quaker religion. The Quaker religion and its followers are very friendly
and believe in an orderly and peaceful society. Your widget company will be
greeted with friendship and kindness.
Colony Politics and Government

• We are currently getting land grants from the
king

with Pennsylvania
Native American Relationship
• William Penn – known as the founder of the Pennsylvania – was friendly with the
Native Americans in the Middle Colonies and was a well known Quaker
• William Penn paid a grand total of 1200 pounds and multiple trade offers with
Native Americans to gather enough land for the Pennsylvania Colony to prosper
• The Iroquois ceded land to William Penn
• William Penn signed many treaties with the Native American tribes in the
Middle Colonies for land and peace
The Native Americans of Pennsylvania are friendly and have signed several
treaties with William Penn for land and peace between the Native Americans and
the colonists of Pennsylvania. One of the Native American tribes local to
Pennsylvania are the Iroquois tribe. William Penn established a peaceful
relationship between the Native Americans and the Colonists. Your widget
