Why did penn sail to America in 1682?

William Penn sailed to America in 1682 to establish a colony based on his Quaker beliefs of religious freedom and tolerance. He sought to create a haven for persecuted religious groups, particularly Quakers, and to implement his vision of a just and fair society. The colony, named Pennsylvania, aimed to promote peaceful coexistence with Indigenous peoples and to foster a diverse community. Penn's journey was also motivated by his desire to secure land granted to him by King Charles II as repayment for a debt owed to his father.
