***William Penn showed that it was possible to live peacefully side-by-side if affairs were conducted fairly.***

Yet even then Indians still raided and killed many in Pennsylvania.

I am thinking of the Pensylvanya School House Massacre where the Indians wiped out a school and all the children in it.
The Quaker legislature refused to supply men and arms to protect the settlers. In one instance the Indian caused murders in Pennsylvania got so bad the citizens took there murdered dead and piled them in the legislative building forcing their Quaker representitives to walk over the dead to conduct their pacificistc business.

I believe that was long after Penn’s passing.
