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.

How did rock n roll influence parents perception of pop culture during the 1950’s?
kenny6666 [7]

For some of us, it began late at night: huddled under bedroom covers with our ears glued to a radio pulling in black voices charged with intense emotion and propelled by a wildly kinetic rhythm through the after-midnight static. Growing up in the white-bread America of the Fifties, we had never heard anything like it, but we reacted, or remember reacting, instantaneously and were converted. We were believers before we knew what it was that had so spectacularly ripped the dull, familiar fabric of our lives. We asked our friends, maybe an older brother or sister. We found out that they called it rock & roll. It was so much more vital and alive than any music we had ever heard before that it needed a new category: Rock & roll was much more than new music for us. It was an obsession, and a way of life.
