    John A. Moretta, a history teacher at the University of Houston, wrote the book William Penn and the Quaker Legacy which was a biography that told the tale of William Penn but reminded its readers that Penn was a legend and hero according to http://www.uh.edu/honors/about/faculty-staff/john-moretta.php, . According to Moretta, Penn produced a Founding Father image and to him Penn “shaped the American creed and ideal” (pg.xi). In my opinion, the reason John A. Moretta wrote the book was because he wanted the world to see Jr. William Penn as the Quaker Legend that he still is today and to show a more in-depth biography of the story of William Penn. Moretta wanted to write the book too because he wanted to talk about this historical individual who made an impact on his personal life. He was qualified to write the book because of his experience as a degreed history instructor. William Penn and the Quaker Legacy reminds people today who the man on the oatmeal container is and defines Quakerism.…

    Pennsylvania was the last colony to become established in the seventeenth century. The owner, William Penn, hoped to create it as a place where those who were facing persecution because of their religious beliefs, could practice religious freedom. William Penn was a supporter for religious freedom and a dedicated member of the Society of Friends or also known as Quakers. The Quakers followed their inner belief instead of following others. His religious views separated him from other people and he was persecuted because of them. He attended the University of Oxford where he was expelled because of his nonconformity and his rejection of Anglicanism. He listened to one of Thomas Loe’s speeches and that’s when he decided he wanted to be a Quaker.…

    Squanto is a Native American who lived in the early seventeenth century in what is now the Northeast United States. When the English came to this area of America to settle, they became very fond of Squanto and used him as a translator due to his unique knowledge of the English language acquired through an earlier voyage to Europe. Squanto helped the Pilgrims adapt to their new surroundings by providing them with the knowledge that he and his ancestors used to survive when they first settled in this area. He became known as a friend to the English and a spokesman for his Native friends (Johnson p.2). However, in helping the English, Squanto realized the power he had obtained through his position and used it for his own gain against the Native Americans. He helped the English to destroy some Indian tribes and used trickery to obtain undeserved favors from many people in his own tribe. While Squanto was essential to the survival of the English in their American colonies, he betrayed his Native American friends in the process of providing the English with what they needed to survive (Johnson p. 2).…

    William Penn is known, of course, as the founder of Pennsylvania. He is also known as a famous Quaker and for his Great Treaty wit hthe Delaware. What is known however, is often obscured by myth. For example, Penn did not name his colony after himself(as he feared would be assumed), but after his recently departed father. He had wanted to call the colony New Wales or Sylvania but King Charles II intervened, suggesting instead Pennsylvania. It was the father after all, who left Penn his wealth, including the King's debt to him- which Charles II paid in full with a hefty chunk of New World land. Also, Penn only became a Quaker in his twenties, shortly after posing for his only painted portrait-the one with the lad in a full suit of armor. Peace-loving indeed. Yet peace is what he was loved and memorialized for, especially for his treaty with the Leni Leanpe(Delaware). "I desire to gain your Love and Friendship by a kind, Just and Peaceable life" he wrote to them from England. And he followed up with that desire with his "holy…

    For many Americans, William Penn is just known as the Quaker leader who founded Pennsylvania and for his ‘Holy Experiment’.

He had devotion and spirit and love for the Quaker sect and in turn spent his whole life trying to get others to see the good in Quakerism and create toleration for the religion. In the biography of William Penn and the Quaker Legacy, John Moretta asserts that William Penn is one of the most significant figures of American History and many of America’s principles were created in his time.…

Separatism is often the result of certain needs or reasons that the majority of a population in one area agree with, these reasons include reasons like feeling economically isolated, minorities with different cultures or ethnicities that simply do not belong to the main body, the feeling of being exploited by others, the natural collapse of the state, splitting it into many smaller states. As a result of this, there is many consequences brought about, for example the aim is often succeeded, which is the establishment of clear, separate states or countries, the protection of a language, the growth of political parties, terrorism and civil war.
