Hello, my name is Charles
Governor Penn wanted his new colony to be a haven to anyone, a place where the persecuted could live in peace. My family was not one of them, but we thought it could be a good place to do business. We invested heavily in the infrastructure of Philadelphia, and worked with many others to build a grand series of docks. The merchants came by the thousands, second only to London herself. And so Philadelphia became the greatest city in the New World.
