My Experience On Dec. 17, 09
Hi! Wally here. I went home with a friend on Dec. 17th. We went to get a Christmas tree at St. Margaret Church. I had loads of fun. On the way there I saw, the town of Narberth, the church and a long row of Christmas trees. She told me about how William Penn got granted land here in Pennsylvania. He felt that it wasn’t fair everyone had to practice the king of England’s religion so he started the holy experiment. William Penn let everyone who came to Pennsylvania practice his or her own religion. Cool right?
Now I have to ask you something; Do you know about any body in your state who made as big of an impact as William Penn? If so tell me when I come to your school!
Peace -Wally

ReplyDeleteJ. Sterling Morton is from Nebraska. He is the founder of Arbor Day. He felt it was really important to protect the earth and especially the trees. His home in Nebraska City is really pretty and surrounded by gardens and trees. His family also started Morton Salt Company using the salt mines in Nebraska.
ReplyDeleteWhen his father died, William was owed a large sum of money by the King of England. To settle the debt, William was granted a large chunk of land in the "new world" which was called Pennsylvania (Penn's Woods). He invited people from all over Europe to move to this land because he wanted to prove that people could live in in peace with each other while practicing different religions. He called this his Holy Experiment. He also believed people should have a say in their government and set up a frame of government similar to what we have today.
