    This lecture is a brief introduction to the early history of the Pennsylvania Colony. The Pennsylvania Colony was founded in 1681 by William Penn, a Quaker convert who converted a debt owed to his family by the king into a charter for a proprietary colony. In keeping with Quaker principles, Penn's Frame of Government established complete religious toleration in the colony - a policy ahead of its time when even Christian toleration seemed lenient. Penn made treaties with local Indian tribes in order to get them to vacate the land around Philadelphia voluntarily, which was a rare measure of humanity during this time period. The Pennsylvania Colony's economy, based on growing staple crops, was typical for the Middle Colonies.
    This lecture is one of many that I have produced about Colonial America and fits into Period 2 of the AP US History curriculum.

    A few things you should add: the New Sweden colony that was in Philly before there was a Philly, the Pennamite War with Connecticut, the Walking Purchase scam pulled off by Penn's sons, and Sullivan's March. Keep up the good work!

    I started reading Democracy in America by Tocqueville recently and was surprised that the first few chapters are just a really good history of the early colonial period

    I love history, so I'd watch even if you had the charisma of a corpse. Nonetheless, you have a truly great channel. It's refreshing to not watch the typical stale historical videos and/or channels.

    Greetings from Philadelphia! I'd really love it if you could do an entire video on Penn's Treaty with the Lenape/Delaware Indians, and/or James Logan and his relationships with William Penn & Ben Franklin!

    My 10x grandfather was named George Boone and I just found all kinds of info on him. It brought me here. He was a quaker that came from Devon England and was even grandfather to Daniel Boone, through squire. It seems he came here with Penn and is recorded in the Quaker Meeting House records. Just so cool. They're buried in graveyards of .... group of friends cemetery?

    In a direct descendant of Rev William Davis from Wales and settled in Pennsylvania and worked/studied under Penn. So I'm very interested in the history and who they were.

    Cool stuff. One of my ancestor's is William Penn who founded Pennsylvania. My late father and 2 of my brothers' middle names are all Penn as a tribute to the Penn surname. I do not know where the bloodline exists in my ancestry but it's really neat to hear about it. We are also supposed to be related to Charles Carrol of Carrollton who signed the Declaration of Independence as well.

    According to the book “Jews and Muslims in British Colonial: A Genealogical History, William Penn, in his own words, wanted Pennsylvania to be a safe haven for descendants of David/Tribe of Judah. The author contends that many Jews hid within religions such as Mennonites, Quakers and Presbyterians, due to the Spanish Inquisition not ending until 1880. The clues that Jews emigrated to Pennsylvania is found by looking at their given and surnames.

      Did they just live amongst them while maintaining their Judaism? Or did they convert?

      @@ShowMeMo my understanding is that there was no conversion.
