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.

Answer: Willian Penn arrived in Pennsylvania in 1692, a colony of the New World (referring to the ancient name of newly discovered America) when he was granted a royal charter by King Charles II.

 

Explanation: Pennsylvania is the most successful English colonies. William Penn was a Son of naval admiral and was a friend of King Charles II and his brother Duke of York. he joined a religious group of Quakers who believed that ministers were unnecessary and everyone should act according to their own "Inner Light". They started civil disobedience, they stopped paying taxes and they ware regarded as dangerous to England and Anglican Church. After his father's death, he inherited a debt that Charles II  owed to his father, he acquired a Royal charter as a payment of debt and he decided to make his own colony as a safe haven for Quakers. He wrote his own constitution of the colony with three important points:

1) Equality for all

2) Right to Vote

3) Purchase of land.

Religious tolerance was a prominent feature of his colony.

1. As a news reporter, you have been asked to write a news feature about Jerusalem. Your assignment is to explain the importance
Andrej [43]

Jerusalem is a big city and is the capital if Israel, its one of the oldest cities in the world. It is located in the central hill country, and is near the border of the Judean desert. It is far removed from any major trade routes. Canaan was the land in which the Hebrew people settled. To the Hebrews, Canaan was the “promised land” when “God” told Abraham, the leader of the Hebrew people, that the land would belong to the people who will descend from him. At the time when they settled, the Hebrews were not wealthy and didn’t have any power. They wrote many books about their history and anything that was related to their religion, called “Judaism.” In 2000 B.C., Canaan was located to the right, next to the Mediterranean Sea. On the map of Canaan in the Ancient Middle East, the city of Jerusalem is located to the left of the Dead Sea. In the eleventh century B.C. a powerful group of people called the Philistines came from across the Mediterranean Sea and then settled. Israelites, who were also living in Canaan, were challenged for land possession. The Israelites decided that the people should unite and live under just one ruler. The Hebrews thought that they should have a king who is just and good. Later, there was a war with the Philistines, which caused the kingdom to fall apart. A man named David helped defeat the Philistines by throwing a stone so powerfully that it killed one of the Philistines warriors. Under the command of David, the Israelites had success with getting their territory back. The Hebrew army ended up capturing the city of Jerusalem from the Philistines, and later, David made the city as capital of his kingdom. Then the Israelites decided to call it the City of David. Solomon is the son of David. He became the king when David was an old man and gave up the throne. Solomon made a temple in Jerusalem and ruled with many skills like diplomacy. Solomon’s temple became a special center for Hebrew worship. Using the temple, people offered sacrifices of animals, fruit or grain in order to honor “God.” Jerusalem was an important city because for many people, some of the religions for many different people originated there. The Hebrews didn’t enjoy when the philistines threatened Canaan. Apart from the Israelites the Hebrews thought that having a single king was a bad idea, they decided God is ruling the people. Their army of the Hebrew People helped defeat the philistines during the war with them and captured Jerusalem. Some of the Hebrews decided to try worshiping more than one "God," but that brought the Hebrew people trouble. The Hebrews were warned that they might be forced to leave their land. They ignored such warning, which led to another group of people, called the Assyrians, to appear and cause problems. The Assyrians have destroyed the kingdom of the Israelites. Other people like another king named Nebuchadnezzar, also attacked Jerusalem and caused other problems. Some people were captured and taken to a place called Babylon. Some of the Hebrews who stayed in Jerusalem tried to rebel against Nebuchadnezzar. This lead to more attacks, and later, a siege for Jerusalem. Nebuchadnezzar sent his people, the Babylonians after Jerusalem. The interaction between the Hebrews and Babylonians was not very friendly. Many of the Israelites ended up being slaves in Babylon and spent a long time in captivity. Overall, there was no friendly interaction between the Hebrews, Assyrians, and Babylonians, as there was nothing but fighting, war, and captivity.
