William Penn of Penn's Woods (Pennsylvania), true freedom of religion is here to stay. #stayquaking

#BartolomedelasCasas did right by liberating the AmerIndians and enslaving those from the #Caribbean. The Amerindians were already living on the land for years precedent to #Columbus. #Slavery is allowed by the #Bible, but the indigenous deserve to thrive.

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

Signed a trraty with #Tammany, the leader of the Lenni Lenape nation. We do not believe to carry arms, not even in times of necessity. Unless one is talking about the revolution, then yes, the #NecessitytoBareArms is rightfully just.

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

@gavinapush1804 The US has certainly expanded its opportunities of equality, ranging in the political spectrum, religious freedom, and civil liberties. Of course, there's far more yet to set straight as there's still so much discourse over religious groups that are labeled as terrorists.

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

#TheGreatTreaty, I paid in fair amount for the neighboring Amerindian lands. Why kill the indigenous folk, murder them for the land they rightfully have long before us? #TrailOfTears is yet another disgrace committed by the folk that claim to want to "civilize" #Amerindians

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

AGREED! America's anti-Catholic sentiments have carried out the same persecution the Puritans faced. Fortunately, in the #Electionof1960, #JFK became the first US President that openly stated he was #Catholic. In some ways, the nation has progressed. https://t.co/ljsbah2CNk

The results #Electionof1928 were disappointing. No man should have his career damaged because of his faith towards God. #Smith #FreedomofReligion #Smithforpresident1928 #Catholics

#Federalists, who? I only know traitors. #HartfordConvention

Just had another stroke recently... oh how I wish the #medicalrevolution came sooner.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay , I dedicate to all the Women of the #AmericanRevolution, and to my wife #HannahCallowhillPenn. She administered Pennsylvania for six successful years. And after my passing I know she will do amazing deeds and care for the colony.

The #CultofDomesticity is outrageous. Let women speak their minds just as a man can! #WomensRights #WomensSufferage

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

Good riddance of #spectralevidence! How foolish can one be to fall for the foolery these children and petty folk pull to favor their causes?

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

#antinomanism and the birth of #RhodeIsland & Pennsylvania welcome those who find flexibility to believe in the true Creator. All one needs is faith.

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

Rid of the same tyranny that England chased the masses away, in fear of their lives because they thought their religion was not righteous. To Hell with England, #TheAmericanRevolution marked an advancement for a new land of #democracy.

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

Thank you, #BenjaminFranklin for educating the masses of the Pennsylvanian youth with the bestowment of #TheAcademy & #TheCharitySchool

@ahutchinson2018 @JOHNwinthropAp1 and ain't that the truth.

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

I'm leaving Pennsylvania for a week, #PennsburyManor is in good hands.

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

Praise Jefferson’s
#VirginiaStatueofReligiousFreedom, without it, we'd be just like England. But in a way we are. Quit your anti-Catholic sentiments. What wrong have they done?

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

These rights are extended to our neighbors, the #DelawareTribe, and tribes alike. If any of us commit an act of injustice to an American Indian, they will have a fair trial.

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

In the end, the jury fought for their right to nullify the decision of the judge. In #Pennsylvania, it is guaranteed by the #CharterofPrivileges that no one shall have an unjust trial and neither unreasonable imprisonment.

[William Penn @WilliamPennAPUS]

Back in England, I was imprisoned after being expelled from the #ChristChurch. I questioned the judge of my true crimes and the jury found me innocent. They, too, were sent to jail.
