 Of all of the colonies from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts, I would prefer living in Pennsylvania because it mostly consists of Quakers and they are all friendly with the Native Americans. The Quaker society appeals to me the most because they are much a laid back society and they accept everyone. If I were alive back then, I would have definitely been classified as a Quaker because like them, I do not follow intense religious practices and I accept people from different backgrounds and religions. I also would want to live in Pennsylvania because the Quakers there get along very nicely with the Native American people and they easily trade with each other. The Quakers bought land from the Native Americans; they did not take it like a lot of the other settlers and this helped them get along. They also got along because the Colonists went among the Native Americans unarmed and this showed piece and fearlessness which appealed to the Natives. William Penn, who was given Pennsylvania by Charles I, conducted his Holy Experiment and everyone had the freedom of religion and there were only two ways of being put to death: through committing treason and murder. Philadelphia was the largest city in the Colonies because it appealed to almost everyone (except Puritans) because of the widely diverse and accepting Quaker society. This would be the perfect society for me because of the great Quaker ideals and the friendliness with the Natives.
