Answered by Ms. Sue
There were no Quaker colonies. However, there were a few small Quaker communities in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Jersey. After Pennsylvania was founded on the principle of religious freedom, more Quaker communities were established.

Answered by Ms. Sue
How are you defining a colony?

A few Quakers lived in Massachusetts Bay colony, but they left because they were persecuted there.

Read the article carefully about the first Quakers in North America.
