- young william grew up during a turbulent time of revolution.
- for a short time, he was a soldier and so successful a one that he thought of making a career in the army. but, seeing the effects of violence and persecution first hand, he began to dream of a society in which war would have no place, and in which a man might freely worship according to his own conscience.
- he joined the quakers, who were pacifists, and threw his energies with theirs into political battles for freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and the right to trial by jury.
- in 1681, the time came for william penn to make his dreams come true. king charles ii gave penn a huge tract of land in north america and named it, in honor of the admiral pennsylvania. here he would set up a society of quakers where he could practice his beliefs freely.
- penn gave freedom of religious worship to the settlers. this attracted quakers that were facing persecution in britain but also settlers from other countries, such as german quakers, english and irish catholics, lutherans from catholic german states, german mennonites, swiss amish, and french huguenots.
- penn wanted native americans and european settlers to work together.
