That really only lasted until the German immigration began in earnest in the 1740’s.

Tensions rose between Quaker Philadelphia and the rest of the colony which have never really resolved.

The German immigration was tightly controlled. On the other hand the Quaker immigration didn't begin until 1700 ~ and by 1701 all the Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Suomi and Sa'ami had relocated from Eastern PA to York county and New York to escape the Quakers.

The Shenandoah Valley in Virginia was opened up for settlement by disquieted Germans from Pennsylvania
