Pennsylvania History

The Pennsylvania area was granted to W. Penn in 1681 as the last English owner colony; its constitutional laws (Frame of Government, 1682; Charter of Liberties, 1701) not only guaranteed an unusual degree of religious freedom, but also created the conditions for the colony’s boom with a generous land policy. In both political and economic life, alongside the English Quakers, who dominated until the Seven Years’ War (1756–63), German settlers (Pennsylvania Dutch; F. D. Pastorius: Founding of Germantown in 1683; increased immigration after 1730) and from 1778 Irish Scottish immigrants (especially in the western areas) played an important role. The political development of the colony was shaped by the contrast between the supporters of the owners (Proprietary Party) – as Anglicans, W. Penn’s sons had given up pacifism as the basis for a peaceful Indian policy aimed at compromising – and the Quakers (Quaker Party). Under pressure from the British government after the outbreak of the Seven Years’ War, part of the Quakers withdrew from government responsibility, thus making it possible to organize armed resistance against Indian raids; at the same time was under the leadership of B. Franklin the campaign against the owners intensified. This culminated in a petition in 1764 to the Crown to take over Pennsylvania as a crown colony. In the independence movement, both groups were partly ousted by more radical groups, who in 1776 passed a radical democratic constitution (unicameral legislature, without a functioning executive; amended in 1790). Pennsylvania ratified the US Constitution on December 12, 1787. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the early industrialized v. a. Coal (Pittsburgh) and steel (Bethlehem) – and state with excellent transport connections – play an important role in federal politics, but also in reform movements (especially education, humanization of the penal system).
