new they could not let Penn's work go to waste, so they stepped in and worked to their fullest to keep his ideas alive. His wife became the Proprietor of Pennsylvania. Her goals had succeeded, and she ruled for eight years after his death, until she died in 1726.17 Thomas Penn, his middle child, was named the managing proprietor. He lived in the colony for forty years after his mother's death. He ruled for almost as long as his father, but like the rest of his family, he left the Quakers and joined the Church of England. The French and Indian War broke up the friendly relationship of the Quakers and the Indians. Although a majority of the Indians stayed on the Englishss side, the others went to the French side. After the war, the Native Americans didn't agree with the Quakers, causing tension. They no longer got along. This caused violence on the part of the Indians. One tribe, on a visit to Philadelphia, killed cattle and robbed orchards as they passed. Another tribe on their way back from Philadelphia destroyed the property of the interpreter and Indian agent, Conrad Weiser.18 Conclusion The Quakers had an enormous effect on Pennsylvania. They created the foundations of what is now Pennsylvania. William Penn will be remembered for his kindness and his hard efforts to help the Quakers and to be a great leader, which he was. That is why it is reasonable to call the colony that started so many great things Pennsylvania. Works Cited Baltzell, Digby E. Puritan Boston and Quaker Philadelphia. Boston: Beacon Press, 1979.
