William Penn wanted the relationship between the Quakers and Lenape to be respectful and understanding. Even before he came, he wrote to them to get their permission to settle in their homeland and tell them about his ‘mission’. To demonstrate his affection, Penn sent gifts of trade goods to the Lenape. His kindness showed them that he appreciated and understood them. Unfortunately, after some mishaps and violations of William Penn’s rules for the colony, the Native Americans became angry. Attacks on the settlers by the Lenape in the French and Indian War (1754-1763) was the result. The warm and trusting relationship that William Penn had established with the indigenous peoples was gone forever.
