Pennsylvania. A third wave of immigrants settled the middle Atlantic area of the eastern seaboard shortly after 1680. Many of them were Quakers. We call Pennsylvania the Quaker State, since it was established by a Quaker named William Penn. Like the Puritans, the Quakers were in search of a place to practice their religion in freedom. While the Puritans were intolerant of other religions, the Quakers believed tolerance was a great virtue.
