B. the Pennsylvania Colony never allowed slavery within the colony's borders.

William Penn was known for his Quaker beliefs, which emphasized equality and tolerance, and this led to the Pennsylvania Colony having a more compassionate approach towards various groups, including a less rigid stance on slavery compared to some other colonies during that time. However, while Penn himself was against slavery, the colony did not completely eliminate it, as slavery did exist there, albeit on a smaller scale than in southern colonies.

If you are looking for a statement that directly aligns with Penn's commitment to tolerance, D may also be a good consideration, as Penn maintained positive relations with Native Americans. However, it is essential to note that none of the options are entirely accurate concerning the entirety of Pennsylvania's history concerning slavery.
