Question

Why did the Quakers settle in Pennsylvania? Quakers were allowed to practice their religion freely and without persecution. The British king granted land to Quaker settlers in repayment of a debt owed to them. A storm caused Quakers arriving by ship to be blown off course and arrive to Pennsylvania by a navigation error. No other colony would accept Quaker settlers because many considered them separatists from the Anglican Church.
