SynopsisWith the favor William's father enjoyed in Britain's royal court, all William had to do was show himself to be a faithful royalist, and wealth and privilege would be his. Instead he chose to follow his conscience--to expulsion from university, disinheritance, imprisonment, and the threat of death. In a world where freedoms were subject to the whims of rulers, William Penn worked passionately for religious tolerance. When this Quaker reformer secured a land grant in America, he laid for Pennsylvania a foundation of liberty, justice, fairness, and tolerance that would later guide the drafting of the Constitution of the United States (1644-1718)., "You fool of a boy!" William's father screamed. "You had the world ahead of you, and you threw it away for some religious meeting. Why, Parliament has ordered the heads of a dozen Puritans to be stuck on poles around the city as a warning against disobeying the law. Have you thought of that? Have you thought about anything?"With the favor William's father enjoyed in Britain's royal court, all William had to do was show himself to be a faithful royalist, and wealth and privilege would be his.

Superb book & superb author!
I've read 3 of this author's books (a few years ago) and was delighted to discover a new-to-me great author. I love America and I love American history. Extremely well-written. I'm a former homeschool mother and have seen a lot of mediocre stuff out there. This is not mediocre. It's high calibre. If you love America and liberty and all that America stands for, or if you are just wanting to bone up on our great Christian foundations or if you have grandchildren who've been brainwashed by 12 yeas of mind-numbing drivel in public schools....this is the book for you~ Sandra ClarkVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
