(jan 1, 1663 – jan 1, 1681)
Description:
As Charles II grants proprietorships to William Penn, the Duke of York, and others around 1663-1681, creating Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Carolina. James II rules New York by decree and the Carolina proprietors attempted to create a manorial system (which ultimately failed). It was William Penn who championed religious freedom and political equality, allowing all property-owning men to vote and hold office.
