Come up with questions you now have about this group of people, the colony and their life back in England. Please pose at least 2 questions in your blog post.
Info about the Quakers
I read the info on the Quakers and i have my two questions:
ReplyDelete#1 why did they have to make fun of the Quakers so much for their religion and
#2 why did they call William Penn's land, Pennsylvania ? there is the Penn part, but where did the rest come into play?
Why did King Charles the second owe William Penn's father so much money?
ReplyDeleteWhy did William Penn make it so the church was not a tax-supported church?
What did the king and his men do to the Quakers? How much money did William Penn make?
ReplyDeleteWhy didn'y William Penn want to be royal? I would!
ReplyDeleteHow did William Penn and King Charles the ll meet, and what age did they meet?
I thought this article was very interesting. I wonder how the Quakers got out of jail? I also wonder why the king owed the penns? I wonder how William Penn advertised his idea? I think that the answers will be quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteHow old was William Penn in 1691? Another question I have is when did William Penn get his land?

ReplyDeleteAlso, What made it so King Charles the second was in so much dept to Penn's father?
(1) Why wouldn't the Quakers pay taxes? Didn't they loose there houses.
ReplyDelete(2) Did the Quakers have jails? They were so peaceful.
If the Quakers thought that everyone was equal, then why would they name a State after someone? Isn't that saying that that person is better than the others? Also did all the Quakers go to Pennsylvania with Penn?
