Many historians think about how Pennsylvania had a big impact on the United States that we call home today.Pennsylvania was one of the first thirteen colonies which also means it was one of the first states to come up with laws.The reason Pennsylvania had such a big effect on the United States history is that our ancestors made fairly good decisions but they also made bad decisions.When William Penn founded Pennsylvania in 1681 on what was known as the Quaker religion. When people look at the history Pennsylvania they see the good things our ancestors chose to do when it came to setting up the thirteen colonies, but what most people overlook is the bad things they chose to do like how they slaughtered thousands of Indians at one time.So with

William Penn, an English entrepreneur, had an unforeseen impact on the history of the United States of America. Penn had been already a champion for democracy, religious freedom, and anti-slavery movements. Through his good relations with both the common people of England and the Indians of Pennsylvania, Penn was able to secure an entire state for many years to come. So that people could escape persecution for their religious beliefs, have more freedom, and have a good relationship with the Indians.

The theme of this art is liberty. It was designed by Eastman Johnson on 2nd march, 1962. It is located at Brooklyn museum. This art demonstrate the journey of America to freedom.

The art shows the idea of Americans attempting to occupy a more prominent place in public and private discourse in the United States (Walker,

Charles II of England granted William Penn the right to start a democratic proprietary colony in Pennsylvania as a way of repaying a debt he owed Penn's father; William Penn needed this colony in order to create a haven of religious tolerance an take himself and his fellow Quakers away from the persecution they faced in England as a result of their refusal to participate in the army (they were pacifists) and their refusal to pay taxes that would go towards the Church of England.

John A. Morettam author of William Penn and the Quaker Legacy, presents William Penn's life in a very informational and positively biased story through his years. He looks majorily on the side that William Penn's decisions were right and that his childhood and young adulthood, founding of Pennsylvania, and in his later years his selling of Pennsylvania were all done well. William Penn accomplished a lot and was an esteemed gentleman, and the author really portays him as such while describing everything William did, as well as his relationships. And so the novel starts off with William Penn's father's influence on William Penn Jr. in many different ways. In the beginning of the story it was neglect. He was

According to the Quaker belief, each person has a “light of Christ” inside of them. As a part of being a Quaker, a believer is to follow out the light inside of them in whatever way they see fit. This is a major stepping stone that created the freedom of religion in Pennsylvania. When forming the government and laws, Penn abided by his beliefs and created a law that called for religious tolerance, and invited persecuted groups from Europe over to the colony. However only those who believe in God (mainly Christians) could vote and hold official positions. None the less, a countless number of people came over to participate in the social and economic affairs in PA. Even in a book written by Penn, Liberty of Conscience, he

Philadelphia was founded when William got a charter from King George for all of Pennsylvania,which was known as New Sweden at the time, in 1681. Penn later took a large portion of Pennsylvania and named it Philadelphia, meaning ‘Brotherly Love’ in Greek. Penn was a Quaker and wanted to make sure that none of the same persecution that took place in England happened in his new city. There was always religious freedom throughout Philadelphia.

On December 12, 1787, William Penn founded the state of Pennsylvania as a haven for his fellow quakers. Pennsylvania was given as a gift to William Penn Sr. from King Charles II and named after Penn’s father. The expanse of land given to Penn was

Virginia has a high amount of contributions to our history. It held Richmond, which was the capital city in the civil war for the confederacy. Virginia also housed two of our nation’s most important towns: Williamsburg and Jamestown. About 150 years after the colonial era, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation was formed. The Foundation wanted to honor one of four buildings in our history by putting the selected building on a coin. Those four buildings are the Governor’s Palace, the Bruton Parish Church, the Capitol, and the Magazine. That building has to show importance in the past and today. It also has to have relevance to The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. I believe that the Magazine in Williamsburg deserves the coin most.

Four months later, Penn had constructed his general layout for colonization. To the purchasers of sites within the province, Penn made his first mention of a large city, Philadelphia. “Penn did not want Philadelphia to be a duplicate of London. Instead, he desired the appearance of an orderly, yet rural, English town.” 3 He built the foundations of the town in a new way to match the new principles Penn wanted Pennsylvania to be ruled by. Penn idealized Pennsylvania as the political solution to economic prosperity. “The free practice of different faiths, except for Roman Catholicism, was necessary to a successful economy. Political participation by various religious groups was also a condition for a productive society.” 2 Nearly 20 years after commencing construction, Penn drafted and structured a “Pennsylvania Charter of Privileges,” for the citizens of the territory to be governed by.

The Independence National Historical Park is a 40 acres long park that consists of most of Pennsylvania’s most important and visited historic sites. Most of the park sites and historic landmarks are located within the neighborhoods of Old City and Society Hill. This historic national park is included in the system because of the meaning that it has with the American Revolution and the formation of the country. The historic national park is home to Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were signed and adopted. Liberty Bell is also located here in the Liberty Bell Center. Some other important sites in the Independence National Historical Park include the First Bank of the United States, Carpenters’

The importance of Alexander Graham Bell on today’s society is visible, or rather audible, every day and everywhere. First and foremost, Alexander Graham Bell was a prolific teacher of the deaf. This is what he considered to be his true life’s work, but only one of the many important things he did. Through his research of speech and sound, and his creative mind, he would become one of the most influential inventors in modern history. His own definition of an inventor, “A man who looks upon the world and is not contented with things as they are. He wants to improve whatever he sees, he wants to benefit the world.” suits him well. Every thing that he did had an impact on someone.
