New religious sects were on the rise in Europe. In England, William Penn attended Oxford where he joined the Society of Friends (Quakers). These new sects were treated badly, and the Quakers received the worst treatment of all. They were thrown in prison for refusing to obey any law that disrupted their religion and they refused to pay to support the state religion. The only way to escape such treatment was to go to America. William Penn's father was an Admiral and King Charles II had owed him a sum of money. Admiral Penn was dead so William Penn asked King Charles II give him a tract of land in payment of the debt. King Charles II granted him much of present-day Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.

MissTica
<span>Patrick Henry in his "Speech at the Convention of Virginia" says that all peaceful ways to negotiate with the British, have already been made, and were also useless, since they have already argued their rights, then they have protested, and the protests were harshly repressed, they have been prostrated before the British throne, and have even begged; but in response, the Colonists have been despised and insulted by the king. Therefore, Henry says in his famous speech, that the settlers can not abandon their struggle for their freedom; and although there are losses and sacrifices, they are for a greater cause. <span>That's when he calls the fight to all Americans.</span></span>
