What religious group settled in the mid Atlantic?

The Quakers, or the Religious Society of Friends, were a significant religious group that settled in the Mid-Atlantic region, particularly in Pennsylvania. Founded in the 17th century by George Fox, they emphasized pacifism, equality, and direct personal experience of God. Their settlement in Pennsylvania was largely influenced by William Penn, a Quaker himself, who sought to create a place for religious freedom and tolerance. Other groups, such as Mennonites and Lutherans, also settled in this region, contributing to its diverse religious landscape.
