William Penn and the Quaker Legacy pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
As the leader of one of the most progressive religious sects to emerge from England, William Penn envisioned Pennsylvania as an example of how a God-inspired society could succeed in the wilderness of North America. However, once in the New World, Quakers pursued both wealth and power, suggesting that even the most devout could not resist the temptations of the New World. Despite the moral struggle, Pennsylvania succeeded beyond anyone,s imagination. By Penn,s death in 1718, Pennsylvania was well on its way to becoming the most commercially successful colonial enterprise in English history.
