By oldcaman I am trying to catch on my education of the US history - at almost 80 I have some time to do it and it is fascinating.After finishing Ben Franklin's autobiography, I am going back in time to a Quaker William Penn He was 'given' the territory what is now the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania mostly for the serviceshis father provided to an English king.William Penn Jr. appears to be one of mild mannered eccentric English gentlemen who made this country a very decent place, indeed.He died way before Franklin came to Philadelphia and Franklin's opposition to the 'proprietor' had nothing to do with him, possibly with some of his descendents.The author depicts the Indians as friendly and cooperative but, obviously, it did not last forever.On only 100 pages not much detail is given, only the basics. Poor Penn was in and out of English jail quite frequently, mostly for being a member of a strange religious sect but not as strange as the Pilgrims.Religion was very important in England of that era and in the colonies. It is significant that an English king eventually issued an 'act of toleration', one of the first in Europe (although Emperor Joseph of Austria issued also one at about the same time).At this time (2014) religion is almost irrelevant in Europe but it is an important factor in the USA.This book written more than 100 years ago, its copyright expired and is available as a Kindle book for free. Recommended, you cannot go wrong with a free book...Three stars, it is quite OK.

While all the other colonies cheated and made war with the Indians, Penn in his Pennsylvania was honest and made lasting friendships with the Indians. While other slave owners kept their slaves, Penn freed all his slaves in 1701. While others in his position sought wealth and power, Penn sought only to do the most good and create the most freedom for the people, even creating and writing the forerunner of the US Constitution. He alsofounded the city of Philadelphia. A true warrior for freedom and right in the spirit of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, and LIncoln!
