Answer:

As an effect of William Penn's actions on colonial America, many immigrants came to the middle colonies seeking religious freedom.

Explanation:

William Penn was a prominent Quaker, philosopher and real estate entrepreneur. Penn founded the Province of Pennsylvania, an American English colony and future Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There he initiated a social project known as the "Holy Experiment", in which social equality, individual rights and pacifism were promoted. The colony subsequently became the states of Pennsylvania and Delaware; and its democratic principles served as an important source in the inspiration of the American constitution and the American tradition.
