Answer:

One factor that drew people to settle in Pennsylvania was religious tolerance.

Explanation:

William Penn and his fellow Quakers strongly anchored their religious value in the Pennsylvania government. Among the most radical beliefs was religious freedom for all, as well as fair trade with the Natives. This extreme tolerance led to healthier relations with the Amerindian tribes than the other colonies. This encouraged Philadelphia's rapid growth among the most important cities in America, and the hinterland of the Pennsylvania Dutch, where German religious and political refugees lived by cultivating land and conserving their culture. Among the first groups were the Mennonites, who founded Germantown in 1683; the Northkill Amish Settlement, established in 1740, that is recognized as the first Amish community in the Americas.

Despite Quaker opposition to slavery, by 1730 the settlers had taken nearly 4,000 slaves to Pennsylvania. The 1780 progressive abolition law was the first of its kind in the colonies that would become the United States. The 1790 census showed that the number of African-Americans had increased to 10,000, of whom nearly 6,300 had gained freedom.

The root cause of the American Civil War is perhaps the most controversial topic in American history. Even before the war was over, scholars in the North and South began to analyze and interpret the reasons behind the bloodshed.


The scholars immediately disagreed over the causes of the war and disagreement persists today. Many maintain that the primary cause of the war was the Southern states’ desire to preserve the institution of slavery. Others minimize slavery and point to other factors, such as taxation or the principle of States' Rights.

In 2011, at the outset of the sesquicentennial, a Pew Research Center poll found that Americans were significantly divided on the issue, with 48% saying the war was "mainly about states' rights," 38% saying the war was "mainly about slavery," with the remainder answering "both equally" or "neither/don't know."
