In Penn's Shadow (1680-1720) - Philadelphia: The Great Experiment

[@bobbyfamig]

The Philadelphia experiment ( this series ) should be taught in every Philadelphia high school

[@mabeljean41]

So many comments that mention only William.......I am pleased to hear that Hannah Callowhill Penn is mentioned as "taking over the government and would run the colony for 13 years!" We who know Phildelphia know the name Callowhill, but probably never thought there was a "famous" woman affiliated with it. Alan Hopper, you must be glad to hear about your great, great, great grandmother as well as grandfather. So many of us know our male ancestors, but have no names of female ancestors. I have taught history for decades and have tried to include the women when I can find them. Thank you for mentioning her.

[@juliagrundfast1843]

My 10th great grandfather is Dr. Thomas Wynne. He was the personal physician of William Penn. He also built one of the first brick houses in Philadelphia which is so cool to me, I was able to visit one of his other homes near my college in West Philly.

My Huguenot ancestor supposedly met William Penn in London 1705ish and so impressed him that he wrote her a letter granting her the “right to purchase” (?) land in the Pequea valley. She made it to Philadelphia with most of her brood 1710ish and then on to that land by 1712. Thanks for this great documentary on Penn. Sad that the Quakers got involved in the slave trade or that the sincerity of Penn towards the Native Americans eventually left them landless and foreign on their own land. History is relentless and cruel.

One thing I found out recently was he had two slaves with him which I thought would b in contrast to The Society of Friends and their new rights. I have been trying to find out for years what happened with William Penn and the Lenape, the family story was it was his nephews that had taken over they destroyed the relationship, the treaty and the Wompum belt.

[@williamsummers6438]

Accepting “Family” as the 10th.Testimony The Quaker testimonies of Equality and Justice have failed in the family. Fathers and children are at a disadvantage with many having been lost to each other. 45% of UK school age children do not now live under the same roof as their father. Quakers and their testimonies constitute a feminist/woke institution that does not accept this as being a problem, never addressing it. It is more likely to do so if “Family” is accepted as a Testimony on the understanding that children’s natural maturation process has 3 essential stages of need. A. The unconditional love of the mother from birth until about 7 years of age. The mother must have “thefinalsay” B. The conditional love of the father, who takes his children out into the world, gives security and teaching social boundaries from 7 until about 13 years of age. The father must have “thefinalsay”. C.The friendship and respect of their peers from 13 until 18 years of age. The child must have “thefinalsay”. If these 3 stages are not sequence in order, maturation is unlikely to be achieved and mental resilience reduced. This has now become generational. Such a regime of equal and just parenting rights (over time) would bind parents into a co-operative relationship, because (over time) each will hold the power of “thefinalsay” sequentially when it is needed and best favoured to use it. Such family protocols need to be the default position, (allowing love, courtesy and humour to prevail) but could in exceptional cases be varied by the courts. Buckminster Fuller said:- “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete”. To alleviate suffering is worthy. To prevent it is divine, but thankless.

"...the Quaker ideal of brotherly love." "Brotherly love has its roots in the concepts of liberty of conscience." (mark 8:22) WHAT??? Apparently these people are unaware that Quakerism, and Penn's beliefs, both have their root in Biblical Christianity. 1 JOHN 3: "We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth." 1 JOHN 4: "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another." ... " If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also."

[@TRADERSFRIEND]

okay do any of you have an understanding of the 3 colonial prototypes (royal, proprietary, and charter)??? im now at the understanding that william penn was a proprietor but before this video i thought he would be considered a "charter leader(?)" maybe i am very stupid but if william is a proprietor, wtf would a charter leadership look like and who gives them their power?? or do they just go somewhere uninhabited and start their own?? if u could give me an example or a name of one that would be tight but honestly im just lookin for an explanation idk i hope this make sense i just hate not understanding things and google isnt giving sufficient answers at this point.

Just fyi, almost nowhere in North America was "uninhabited". The land was occupied by Indigenous people for tens of thousands of years. Most of North America was stolen by white people--white governments, white settlers, white armies.
