This 5:27 long video provides excellent, if slightly sarcastic, insights into William Penn's life and how the Quaker religion started. A very good overview.

In 1644, William Penn was born into the family of a British Navy Admiral. When Penn was 37 years old, as a settlement of debt to his deceased father, King Charles II granted him 45,000 square miles of land in the British Colonies of the New World and... he moved there. Penn's relationship there with both the colonists and the Lenape Indians was unique, encouraging peace and co-existence. He established a new capital city and called it Philadelphia, meaning the "City of Brotherly Love." This three minute video quickly explains this and more and ends with his death in 1718. It also tells how some of the colony's laws were a model for the Constitution, according to this video. A good video to contrast with the start of other colonies.
