Quakers

Quakers were a part of United States history. When people think of Quakers, they automatically think of Quaker Oats the breakfast food. Not always true. Quakers, however, were part of 1776, when the Decloration of Independance in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was written on July 4th by President Thomas Jefferson. William Penn, in-fact, was a Quaker that landed on the Delaware River, and the Chesapeake Bay from England in 1776. William Penn was a Quaker himself. When he arrived to Philadelphia in 1776, he encountered Indians.
