Explanation:

Native American Algonquians lived in the region for about ten thousand years before the arrival of the first Europeans. The first of them was the Spaniard Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, then the governor of the Spanish colony of Florida. This had explored the Chesapeake Bay, now part of Maryland, in 1572. The British merchant William Claiborne, of Virginia, founded the first trading post in 1631. That same year, George Calvert, a British nobleman, asked the British Crown for property and government right of the Chesapeake Bay region. Calvert was Catholic and wanted a colony in America where the British of that religion, discriminated against in their country (of Protestant majority), could practice their cult.His request was accepted by King Charles I of England in 1632. However, Calvert he would die in April of the same year. Carlos I yielded then to the son of Calvert, Cæcilius, Maryland ("Lands of Maria"), in tribute to the queen Enriqueta Maria of France, wife of Carlos I. Cæcilius also was catholic, and sent the first settlers, who disembarked in 1634 in the promotory that is directly north of the Potomac River. William Penn and his fellow Quakers strongly imprinted their religious values ​​on early Pennsylvania government. The Charter of Privileges extended religious freedom to all monotheists and the government was initially open to all Christians. Until the French and Indian War, Pennsylvania had no militiary tax, few and no public debt. It also encouraged the rapid growth of Philadelphia in the most important city in the United States, and of the areas of influence of Pennsylvania's Dutch countryside, where Germans (or "Duetsch") religions and political refugees prospered on the fertile soil of creativity and cultural spirit Among the first groups were the Mennonites, who founded Germantown in 1683, and the Amish, which established the Amish Northkill Agreement in 1740. 1751 was an auspicious year for the colony. Pennsylvania Hospital, the first hospital in the British American colonies, and the academy and the University of Philadelphia, the predecessor of the private University of Pennsylvania, both open.
