Wasn’t Penn a Quaker who lived peacefully with native Americans? And quakers were antislavery. In fact, Pennsylvania was a haven for freed slaves thanks to the Underground Railroad essentially run by quakers. [/quote]

I'm sure of you talked to the native Americans who experienced white settlers encroaching on their land, they would have a different story. For instance, they might say that they were forced to live peacefully next to their captors and oppressors.:. But sure let's Romanticize history. [/quote]

You sure do, with your 19th century mindset. Noble savages, huh? All indigenous people were garlanded with flowers and living peacefully and sustainably in the forest before the evil colonizers came?

The irony is, you're probably descended from the people who were burning Quakers and Jews at the stake back in the old country. You are so ignorant of history you have no idea why people came here fleeing religious persecution, what a big deal Pennsylvania was for so many religious sects. An eighteenth century person would find you woefully ignorant. [/quote]
