History
History
William Penn, a member of a very wealthy family, was a friend of King Charles II. At age 22, Penn joined a religious group named the Quakers. The Quakers felt that all people, were equal.
The Quakers were one of the most despised religious groups in England. During this time, Quakers were being persecuted for their beliefs and ideas. Since Penn was apart of the Quakers, he wanted to leave England and start a new colony where everybody was equal, and nobody was punished for their ideas.
Penn asked the King for help, so King Charles II made William Penn a proprietor, a person who gets land for an exchange of a yearly payment, in North America.
They named this piece of land Pennsylvania after
Penn.
