[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a roller coaster ride. William Penn has gone from an evil white slave trader to a woke progressive liberal all in the course of 16 pages. Amazing.[/quote] Not really. He was the classic limousine liberal of his time! He did own and sell other human beings (fact), he thought Indians got a rotten deal from white men and were treated horribly (fact), and he belonged to a religious group that was pacifist and progressive, even believing in rights for women when few others did (fact). It was a huge deficiency in character and hypocritical for him to own and sell other human beings, but he otherwise had very liberal stances on issues of the day. History is nuanced. There's no need to put anyone but Jesus and Buddha on a pedestal and refuse to acknowledge their faults.[/quote]
