William Penn founded Pennsylvania primarily **as a safe place for Quakers and those of other faiths**. He sought to create a colony where religious freedom and tolerance were paramount, allowing people of different religious backgrounds to coexist peacefully. This was particularly important for Quakers, who faced persecution in England for their beliefs. While there were other economic motivations involved, the foundational goal was to establish a haven for religious expression.
