William Penn was not only wise in keeping friendly relations with the local Native Americans but also in keeping the peace amongst newcomers and the Swedes and the Dutch who, from pre-Pennsylvania time, had claimed land there. He allowed them to keep the land they had already claimed even though they had staked out many choice riverfront lots.
Religious Freedom Not Just For Quakers
Although William Penn's original aim in settling Pennsylvania was to give Quakers a haven for practicing their religion unmolested, freedom of religion extended to other religions as well. It was a policy that greatly assisted Penn's agents in France and Rhineland who were attempting to lure Huguenots and German Pietists to Pennsylvania.
