    According to Thomas Jefferson, William Penn was “the greatest law giver the world has produced.” Someone should create a page for William on Evertalk – http://www.everta.lk

    William Penn was a true visionary. He was the man who urged a Union of all English colonies in his time. Thanks for the heads up on the Evertalk page Christina.
