History of Pennslyvania
Pennsylvania was founded December 12, 1787 by William Penn which is how Pennsylvania got its name. Pennsylvania was one of the bigger colonies and had a lot of food, it was called a bread-basket colony which it had a lot of food to feed themselves. Home of the Quakers, this colony really enforced the laws of Christianity.

I would like to pursuade people to stay in Pennsylvania because there is a lot of food and it is pretty easy to survive if you pull your own weight and farm for your family.
