Answer:

I have uploaded the map the question is referring to.

The correct answer is Quakers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quakers settled all over Pennsylvania but mainly in the eastern part of the state, the reason is that Pennsylvania was founded by a quaker himself: William Penn (after who the state takes its name), and he wanted the colony to be a haven for quakers, who were persecuted in England.

Quakers were very tolerant of other religions, and jews, catholics, and germans (including those who followed sects that still live to this day like the Amish and the Mennoties) also settled in the state.
