Like the Puritans, the Quakers were a religious group whose beliefs set them at odds with the official church in England. Quakers had no priests or ministers and would not fight in wars. English Quaker William Penn was jailed several times for his beliefs. He wanted to start a colony where Quakers could live safely. In 1681, England's King Charles II granted  land in North America to Penn, which he used to found Pennsylvania.
