WHAT? THE DUTCH AND SWEDES FIGHT FOR PA? The Swedish settlers,
or Swedes, had a prosperous settlement. They decided to attack the Dutch (People from Holland) settlement on the Delaware River.
The Dutch settlement was easily taken but the Dutch decide to fight back. Eventually, they completely take over the Swedes and their settlements.
The Swedes stay on living under Dutch rule.
Now the Dutch control territory in New York and Pennsylvania.

WHAT COULD MAKE AN ENGLISH KING NERVOUS?
1664 – The King of England became nervous over the Dutch controlling so much of the “New World”.
He sent a fleet of ships to take control of the Dutch lands.
The English were successful without ever firing a shot! The Dutch were so intimidated that they simply gave up at the first sight of the English!

HOW DID PENNSYLVANIA START? The king owed William’s
father money but the king had no money to repay the debt. After William’s father died, he gave William a land grant as payment for the debt.
Penn had already been thinking of a colony where people did not have to fear religious persecution.
He began his “Holy Experiment”
![Page 12: Native Americans – William Penn. It is believed that the earliest inhabitants of Pennsylvania came to our state by accident. They are thought to have](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649eab5503460f94bb0fc7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
HOW HARD IS IT TO START A COLONY?
Penn sent a small group of Quakers to PA to begin the colony. A year later Penn sailed with 100 other Quakers to join them in PA.
The trip took 2 months and all but 30 of the people onboard died.
They arrived in PA in November. There were only enough homes to house the original few settlers. Also, the settlers really did not know how to hunt or grow food in this new land.

HOW DOES PENN CHOSE TO DEAL WITH THE NATIVES?
Penn decides to pay the Native Americans for the land that he was given by the King of England. This would be land that most Europeans would already consider rightfully theirs!

DID THE LEADERS OF PA AFTER PENN DEAL WITH THE NATIVE AMERICANS AS WELL AS HE
DID?
NO! Penn’s sons tricked the Delaware Indians into giving up more land than had been intended through the use of the Walking Purchase.
![Page 16: Native Americans – William Penn. It is believed that the earliest inhabitants of Pennsylvania came to our state by accident. They are thought to have](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649eab5503460f94bb0fc7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

“The Great Law” – (1682) This was a law that stated that all people were born equal.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE COLONY OF PENNSYLVANIA?
As people hear of the freedoms that are being offered in Pennsylvania they begin flooding into the colony.
With so many different types of people coming for freedom it had some lasting effects. Our state has been home to many unique groups over the years.

WHO ARE THE SHAKERS? Founded 100 years after the Quakers. This group broke
from the mainstream Quakers in 1747. They got their name because when they become
spiritually excited their bodies would shake. Common ownership of property is a part of their beliefs;
as well as a simple life, living in rural regions. They also believe in equality between genders and
races.

WHO ARE THE MENNONITES? Also known as the Pennsylvania Dutch these
people have a German background. Their religion grew out of the Anabaptist movement. They reject the idea of infant baptism and instead believe in baptism as a believing adult. They also rejected the ideas of the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation.
They also taught separation of church and state which was unheard of during the 16th century.
This group first tried to escape religious persecution by fleeing to Switzerland and other remote regions. Later they came to PA to gain religious tolerance.

WHO ARE THE AMISH?
The Amish broke off from the Mennonites of Switzerland in 1693. The Amish were upset with the lack of enforcement of shunning or excommunicating of disobedient members by the Swiss Mennonites.
In 1730 the Amish began showing up in PA.
The beliefs of the Amish and the Mennonites are basically the same since they share the same historical roots.
![Page 26: Native Americans – William Penn. It is believed that the earliest inhabitants of Pennsylvania came to our state by accident. They are thought to have](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649eab5503460f94bb0fc7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
MENNONITE AND AMISH
Both groups believe in simplicity of faith.
The differences in these two groups is how they chose to live and practice
those beliefs.
![Page 27: Native Americans – William Penn. It is believed that the earliest inhabitants of Pennsylvania came to our state by accident. They are thought to have](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649eab5503460f94bb0fc7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
MENNONITE VS. AMISH
Mennonites are tolerant of technology and the outside world. Also, they accept higher education. They believe that it can help strengthen their religion. They worship in churches and do missionary work in the “outside”world.
Amish feel that the influence of the outside world through things like education and technology interfere with the purity of faith. As a result they refrain from the use of modern technologies and conveniences. The Amish worship in their homes and have as little contact as possible with those who are not of their faith.
However, it truly all depends on what type of order they belong to. “Old Orders "whether they are Mennonite or Amish resist the outside world. “Modern Orders” are more accepting of the outside world and technology.

WHO ARE THE MORAVIANS? This group first moved to PA after having a failed
settlement in Georgia. They purchased 500 acres in PA for a settlement that they called Bethlehem. Later they purchased 5,000 acres for a settlement they called Nazareth.
Moravians believe in a simple lifestyle. The men or brothers live separate from the women who were also known as sisters. Married couples and children also had their own dwellings.
Relations with Native Americans were good. In fact they built homes for the converts to their religion.
This group also bought slaves so that they could set them free.
Their motto is “In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; and in all things, love.”

WHO ARE THE SEVENTH DAY BAPTISTS? This group is a close relative of the Brethren. They too
chose PA because of its religious tolerance. These people lived like monks and nuns. They would
pray for hours and they don’t believe in war. They also did not believe in many comforts because they thought that it put them farther from God. So, these people slept on hard boards with wooden block pillows.
They built homes similar to the ones that they had in Germany. The most famous is the Ephrata Cloister. There was a separate house for the sisters (women) and one for the brothers (men). The Ephrata Cloisters were built in Conestoga territory (Near Lancaster).

These people originated in Scotland. They left Scotland for Ireland. There in Ireland they found persecution by English landowners. They began coming to PA in the 1700’s looking for a better life – both due to religious reasons and the opportunity for survival and advancement in society.

They brought with them the Presbyterian religion. They did a lot of missionary work with the Natives and the African-Americans.
They also participated in the writing of state and national constitutions.

WHO ARE THE CATHOLICS?
Catholics chose to settle in PA because of the religious tolerance. They did not have much success in other parts of America initially because they were persecuted for their beliefs. PA is thought to be the most positive experience for Catholics in the colonies.
In 1757 there were 1,365 Catholics in PA our of 200,000-300,000 people.
Catholics were not permitted to hold office in PA because they were considered to not be loyal to the king. Their loyalty was to the Pope. This would eventually help to bring about separation of church and state.

WHO ARE THE INDENTURED SERVANTS?
Indentured servants could not afford the trip to America. They wanted to come to America to find a better life. They would sign on with a ship’s captain and then he would sell them off when they arrived in PA.
These were not slaves. They would work for 4-7 years and then gain their freedom. Their service could be extended for breaking a law.
This was a cheap form of labor for the farmers who were trying to make a go of things here in America. Later these same farmers turned to racial slavery because they realized it was even more profitable.
The indentured servants would generally be given: land/corn/guns/a cow/clothes
