Drive Thru History: American History S01 E05 William Penn & Early Philadelphia

"Do you know the stories of faith and freedom from America's founding?"

We examine the life and vision of the enterprising William Penn. At his home, Pennsbury Manor, we learn about Penn’s philosophy of representative government and how it influenced future American government and the U.S. Constitution. We visit Christ Church in Philadelphia, the parish of many Founding Fathers, and we investigate the truth behind the first American flag at the Betsy Ross House.
