Province of Pennsylvania [SEP] Religious freedom and prosperity
William Penn and his fellow Quakers heavily imprinted their religious beliefs and values on the early Pennsylvanian government. The "Charter of Privileges" extended religious freedom to all monotheists and government was initially open to all Christians. Until the French and Indian War Pennsylvania had no military, few taxes and no public debt. It also encouraged the rapid growth of Philadelphia into America's most important city and of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country hinterlands, where German (or "Deutsch") religions and political refugees prospered on the fertile soil and spirit of cultural creativeness. Among the first groups were the Mennonites, who founded Germantown in 1683; and the Amish, who established the Northkill Amish Settlement in 1740.
