William Penn (24 October 1644 (O.S. 14 October 1644) – 30 July 1718) was an English real estate entrepreneur, philosopher, early Quaker and founder of the Province of Pennsylvania, the English North American colony and the future Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He was an early advocate of democracy and religious freedom, notable for his good relations and successful treaties with the Lenape Native Americans. Under his direction, the city of Philadelphia was planned and developed.
In 1681, King Charles II handed over a large piece of his American land holdings to William Penn to satisfy a debt the king owed to Penn's father. This land included present-day Pennsylvania and Delaware. Penn immediately set sail and took his first step on American soil in New Castle in 1682. On this occasion, the colonists pledged allegiance to Penn as their new proprietor, and the first general assembly was held in the colony. Afterwards, Penn journeyed up river and founded Philadelphia. However, Penn's Quaker government was not viewed favourably by the Dutch, Swedish, and English settlers in what is now Delaware. They had no 'historical' allegiance to Pennsylvania, so they almost immediately began petitioning for their own assembly. In 1704 they achieved their goal when the three southernmost counties of Pennsylvania were permitted to split off and become the new semi-autonomous colony of Lower Delaware. As the most prominent, prosperous and influential "city" in the new colony, New Castle became the capital.
General Cigar Company is one of the largest manufacturers of cigars in the world. It has been owned by Swedish Match since 2005.
Company history
In 1961 General Cigar, which was profitably selling about $30 million worth of cigars annually, was purchased for approximately $25 million by a group of investors headed by Edgar M. Cullman, a fourth generation American in the tobacco industry.
Later in the 1960s, Culbro and General Cigar acquired Gradiaz Annis, maker of Gold Label cigars and the Temple Hall factory that owned the Macanudo brand name, ushering in a turn towards hand-rolled premium cigars. Macanudo, a small label made in limited quantities for the market in the United Kingdom, was seen as the principal vehicle for growth in the premium cigar category. A careful effort was made to reblend the product for the large American marketplace (then and now subject to a ban on Cuban tobacco, the industry's gold standard) using select binder and filler from the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Mexico and Connecticut shade-grown wrapper. Mass advertising was conducted in support of the brand, which by the early 1990s had grown into the best selling premium cigar label in the United States.
It is located at the Philadelphia City Hall, Penn Square, Broad Street and Market Streets, top of clock tower, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
It was installed 1894; it was cast in fourteen sections, and took almost two years to finish.

A right-handed batsman and bowler, he was the eldest of three brothers who also played for Kent; the other two were Frank and Dick Penn. He played for Kent 18 times from 1870 to 1878, also appearing for Marylebone Cricket Club (1874) and Gentlemen of the South (1871-1874). His son Eric Penn played for Cambridge University and MCC.
Business career
William Penn became a member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 1873, proposed by his father and Joseph Whitworth. He became a partner in the family business around the same time, began to manage the firm in 1875, and in 1889, when the firm was incorporated as John Penn and Sons Ltd, he and his elder brother John were the two principal shareholders. When the company amalgamated with the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company ten years later, William Penn became a director of the new company, but resigned from the board by April 1901 on grounds of ill health.
Pennsylvania wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The climate in Pennsylvania is mild compared to surrounding states, with the moderating effects of Lake Erie to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. 119 wineries are located in all parts of the state, including five designated American Viticultural Areas. Pennsylvania is the eighth-largest wine producing state in the country.

Philadelphia celebrates its founder more than any other American city, but who exactly is William Penn? For many, he is a statue atop City Hall, but Penn's busy life reflected an era of chaotic upheaval and conflict. He is at once a radical Quaker, political prisoner, visionary city planner, absent landlord, and a slaveholder. His ideals, contradictions, and ambitions cast a long shadow across American history. This installment of Philadelphia: The Great Experiment explores what it means to live In Penn's Shadow.

William Penn and the Quaker Movement
William Penn was born in London on October 14, 1644, to a prosperous English family. Even from his grammar school days, young Willy took a great interest in religion, but couldn't find anything that suited him. From grammar school, he went to Oxford University, entering Christ Church College at the age of 15. While at Oxford, William went to hear Thomas Lowe, a Quaker, who had been preaching about the Society of Friends, a new church with new ideas.
This had a dramatic impact on William Penn, who took great interest in the new ideas that the Society of Friends brought to the table.

https://www.tomrichey.net/colonial-america.html
This lecture is a brief introduction to the early history of the Pennsylvania Colony. The Pennsylvania Colony was founded in 1681 by William Penn, a Quaker convert who converted a debt owed to his family by the king into a charter for a proprietary colony. In keeping with Quaker principles, Penn's Frame of Government established complete religious toleration in the colony - a policy ahead of its time when even Christian toleration seemed lenient. Penn made treaties with local Indian tribes in order to get them to vacate the land around Philadelphia voluntarily, which was a rare measure of humanity during this time period. The Pennsylvania Colony's economy, based on growing staple crops, was typical for the Middle Colonies.

William Penn and the Quaker Movement
William Penn was born in London on October 14, 1644, to a prosperous English family. Even from his grammar school days, young Willy took a great interest in religion, but couldn't find anything that suited him. From grammar school, he went to Oxford University, entering Christ Church College at the age of 15. While at Oxford, William went to hear Thomas Lowe, a Quaker, who had been preaching about the Society of Friends, a new church with new ideas.
This had a dramatic impact on William Penn, who took great interest in the new ideas that the Society of Friends brought to the table. However, William was still a nonconformist, and he resented the strict discipline that was inflicted upon him at Oxford. Eventually, he was expelled for "ejecting the surplice and rioting in the quadrangle." Whatever “surplice” means, William's father was furious at him, and sent him off to France in the hope of refining him. Well apparently it worked, and William ended up in Ireland at his family estate. While there, he once again met Thomas Lowe.
It was during one of Lowe’s sermons that a passage from scripture really spoke to William Penn. "There is a faith which overcomes the world, and there is a faith which is overcome by the world." This is what William had been waiting for, a faith in God that is immutable and concrete. It is said that William Penn officially became a Quaker at that moment.
Soon, William Penn was active in the Quaker movement and befriended the founder of the church, George Fox. William even went as far as springing George from jail several times. Some say the term “Quaker” was actually developed because of one of Fox's arrests. When he was in court defending against a blasphemy charge, he said, “Everyone should tremble and quake at the Word of God." So the term, Quaker, was coined. Originally it was used as an insult, but the Quakers adopted the term in a “we don't really care what you think” kind of way.

https://www.history4humans.com/collections/colonial-america/products/william-penn-the-quakers-and-pennsylvania-colony
In this episode, students learn the amazing story of the founding of the Pennsylvania as William Penn's Holy Experiment! The exploration question is, "How did William Penn's Quaker beliefs influence the development of colonial Pennsylvania?" It starts with introducing who the Quakers are- their egalitarian beliefs, pacifism, and the prosecution that Quakers faced in England and in Puritan New England as well. When William Penn cashed in on the debt King Charles II owed his father, he founded the Pennsylvania colony to be a sanctuary for the oppressed Quakers and other religious dissenters.
It teaches how Penn's Holy Experiment was predominately about ensuring religious tolerance for all believers- which was radical for its time. It also covers other developments of democracy in Pennsylvania and Penn's framework for government that influenced the US Constitution. Penn's treatment of Indians was exceptional for the time- purchasing land from the Lenape Indians and signing Penn's Treaty to ensure peace and friendship.
It covers how Penn also looked to profit from the land and attracted migrants from across Europe - making Pennsylvania very ethnically diverse. It covers Pennsylvania's mixed economy, the development of slavery in the colony, and how over time, as more settlers came- the peace with the Indian tribes was replaced with conflict and Indian removal.
The lesson plan that goes with the episode includes an interactive notesheet sheet to follow along the vide, a quick quiz to check for understanding, and an extension lesson that has students design an advertisement for Pennsylvania to attract settlers based on a short reading and from what they learned in the video. Harness critical thinking, creativity, and some awesome history!

Philadelphia celebrates its founder more than any other American city, but who exactly is William Penn? For many, he is a statue atop City Hall, but Penn's busy life reflected an era of chaotic upheaval and conflict. He is at once a radical Quaker, political prisoner, visionary city planner, absent landlord, and a slaveholder. His ideals, contradictions, and ambitions cast a long shadow across American history. This installment of Philadelphia: The Great Experiment explores what it means to live In Penn's Shadow.

William Penn and the Quaker Movement
William Penn was born in London on October 14, 1644, to a prosperous English family. Even from his grammar school days, young Willy took a great interest in religion, but couldn't find anything that suited him. From grammar school, he went to Oxford University, entering Christ Church College at the age of 15. While at Oxford, William went to hear Thomas Lowe, a Quaker, who had been preaching about the Society of Friends, a new church with new ideas.
This had a dramatic impact on William Penn, who took great interest in the new ideas that the Society of Friends brought to the table. However, William was still a nonconformist, and he resented the strict discipline that was inflicted upon him at Oxford. Eventually, he was expelled for "ejecting the surplice and rioting in the quadrangle." Whatever “surplice” means, William's father was furious at him, and sent him off to France in the hope of refining him. Well apparently it worked, and William ended up in Ireland at his family estate. While there, he once again met Thomas Lowe.
It was during one of Lowe’s sermons that a passage from scripture really spoke to William Penn. "There is a faith which overcomes the world, and there is a faith which is overcome by the world." This is what William had been waiting for, a faith in God that is immutable and concrete. It is said that William Penn officially became a Quaker at that moment.
Soon, William Penn was active in the Quaker movement and befriended the founder of the church, George Fox. William even went as far as springing George from jail several times. Some say the term “Quaker” was actually developed because of one of Fox's arrests. When he was in court defending against a blasphemy charge, he said, “Everyone should tremble and quake at the Word of God." So the term, Quaker, was coined. Originally it was used as an insult, but the Quakers adopted the term in a “we don't really care what you think” kind of way.

Engaging Colonial Pennsylvania Lesson Plan:
https://www.history4humans.com/collections/colonial-america/products/william-penn-the-quakers-and-pennsylvania-colony
In this episode, students learn the amazing story of the founding of the Pennsylvania as William Penn's Holy Experiment! The exploration question is, "How did William Penn's Quaker beliefs influence the development of colonial Pennsylvania?" It starts with introducing who the Quakers are- their egalitarian beliefs, pacifism, and the prosecution that Quakers faced in England and in Puritan New England as well. When William Penn cashed in on the debt King Charles II owed his father, he founded the Pennsylvania colony to be a sanctuary for the oppressed Quakers and other religious dissenters.
It teaches how Penn's Holy Experiment was predominately about ensuring religious tolerance for all believers- which was radical for its time. It also covers other developments of democracy in Pennsylvania and Penn's framework for government that influenced the US Constitution. Penn's treatment of Indians was exceptional for the time- purchasing land from the Lenape Indians and signing Penn's Treaty to ensure peace and friendship.
It covers how Penn also looked to profit from the land and attracted migrants from across Europe - making Pennsylvania very ethnically diverse. It covers Pennsylvania's mixed economy, the development of slavery in the colony, and how over time, as more settlers came- the peace with the Indian tribes was replaced with conflict and Indian removal.
The lesson plan that goes with the episode includes an interactive notesheet sheet to follow along the vide, a quick quiz to check for understanding, and an extension lesson that has students design an advertisement for Pennsylvania to attract settlers based on a short reading and from what they learned in the video. Harness critical thinking, creativity, and some awesome history!
I do hope you enjoy,
dan :)

This lecture is a brief introduction to the early history of the Pennsylvania Colony. The Pennsylvania Colony was founded in 1681 by William Penn, a Quaker convert who converted a debt owed to his family by the king into a charter for a proprietary colony. In keeping with Quaker principles, Penn's Frame of Government established complete religious toleration in the colony - a policy ahead of its time when even Christian toleration seemed lenient. Penn made treaties with local Indian tribes in order to get them to vacate the land around Philadelphia voluntarily, which was a rare measure of humanity during this time period. The Pennsylvania Colony's economy, based on growing staple crops, was typical for the Middle Colonies.
This lecture is one of many that I have produced about Colonial America and fits into Period 2 of the AP US History curriculum.
Describes the Quaker's struggle for freedom of worship in 17th century England. Discusses how under William Penn's leadership a colony was founded in America which was dedicated to freedom of speech and religion, and equality for all, and how an ample opportunity for trade, industry, and agriculture helped Pennsylvania develop into a political, economic, and cultural leader among the colonies.

William Penn (24 October 1644 (O.S. 14 October 1644) – 30 July 1718) was an English real estate entrepreneur, philosopher, early Quaker and founder of the Province of Pennsylvania, the English North American colony and the future Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He was an early advocate of democracy and religious freedom, notable for his good relations and successful treaties with the Lenape Native Americans. Under his direction, the city of Philadelphia was planned and developed.
In 1681, King Charles II handed over a large piece of his American land holdings to William Penn to satisfy a debt the king owed to Penn's father. This land included present-day Pennsylvania and Delaware. Penn immediately set sail and took his first step on American soil in New Castle in 1682. On this occasion, the colonists pledged allegiance to Penn as their new proprietor, and the first general assembly was held in the colony. Afterwards, Penn journeyed up river and founded Philadelphia. However, Penn's Quaker government was not viewed favourably by the Dutch, Swedish, and English settlers in what is now Delaware. They had no 'historical' allegiance to Pennsylvania, so they almost immediately began petitioning for their own assembly. In 1704 they achieved their goal when the three southernmost counties of Pennsylvania were permitted to split off and become the new semi-autonomous colony of Lower Delaware. As the most prominent, prosperous and influential "city" in the new colony, New Castle became the capital.
Our upcoming Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale includes four sculptures and one oil by Alberto Giacometti, including the artist's first multi-figural sculpture, La Place, which stands as one of his most powerful representations of psychological isolation and vulnerability. Specialist Jeremiah Evarts explores the five works up for offer this May.
