The story unfolds against the dynamic backdrop of seventeenth-century England. The emergence of diverse religious sects marked this time. Among these, the Quakers, known as Friends, stand out.
Excellent essay Frederick. Being born in Pennsylvania I was familiar with Penn and this filled in gaps. With this looking with disdain on our Founders I have been pondering what our Founders would think of us. Letting our borders be over run. Not being able to define a woman and insanely thinking men can give birth are a few things they would definitely not believe. The biggest horror of all to them would be we killed 65,000,000 of our children. And we think THEY weren't civilized!
Wherever Marxism strikes history is a victim. Particular note is any figure that is connected to the practice of worshipping and honoring God, or promoting human liberty is a prime candidate for cancelation.
The ultimate goal is the cancelation of God entirely from history and the minds of the people. Evil knows no bounds.
2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.
William Penn, like Christopher Columbus and Thomas Jefferson, committed that cardinal sin known as being born white. As Africans settle in Europe and people from around the world are invited to illegally enter the USA, we are seeing a new racism that will soon overwhelm the planet and make all white people targets.
Don’t know much about the Quakers but that Richard Nixon was a Quaker, aside from being one of the the top legal scholars of the U S Constitution.
There’s a little town named Friendswood between Houston and Galveston and I believe the original founders of that community were Quakers. My cousin lives there, and the Quakers there bake fresh bread from whole wheat they grind. They also are experts at “putting food by” and building up stores of food for preparedness and survival.
I always liked the little joke…
“The Quaker said to his wife, Everyone in the world art peculiar except thou and me, and thou art a little peculiar.”
I heard that the reason they are called Quakers is that they shake and quake during their religious services. I know better now.
I picked up a clue as to the origin in Africa of the slave trade to the colonies. It was a movie titled, as I recall, Anthony Adverse. There was a scene in the movie where a character wearing a turban was selling his captives to a slave trader to be put on to the boats to travel, I guess on up the Atlantic up to the Bahamas. But that is not the whole story of the profiteers from the African slave trade.

(The bible, old and new testaments, has many passages about slavery and bondslaves. Christians are to be bondslaves to Christ.)
Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ. 6Not serving to the eye, as it were pleasing men: but, as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. With a good will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men. Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man shall do, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
And you, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatenings: knowing that the Lord both of them and you is in heaven. And there is no respect of persons with him.

Conflict over William Penn statue removal in Philadelphia misses a point – Penn himself might have objected to it (if so, City Hall should go)?

A simply superb history lesson. Unfortunately, they have targeted this too, unsuccessfully for now.
Let us hope that in the future we have more sense.
Fantastic article!
Wel, well, well.. The tribes wanted to promote their history. Removing William Penn's statue wasn't a priority https://apnews.com/article/william-penn-statue-native-american-philadelphia-fd36a446127f987c3935931f94ecd477
There are two men's statues you don't mess with in Philly. One is Billy Penn. Can you guess who the other one is?

Slaves and Masters
Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ. 6Not serving to the eye, as it were pleasing men: but, as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. With a good will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men. Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man shall do, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

Now the left is after our founders. Will Mount Rushmore be next?
