William Penn established the mid-Atlantic colony of Pennsylvania mainly because  he desired to create a logical, well-organized, religiously tolerant colony.

Explanation:

Penn dared the "holy experiment", as he called it, and put in place a system of government based on brotherhood and personal freedom for settlers and Indians. Pennsylvania became a sanctuary for members of religious minorities persecuted or discriminated against in Europe (Quakers, Huguenots, Mennonites, Bohemian Brothers, Jews, etc.), but also for denominations such as Lutherans and Catholics, who were expelled and had no full citizenship in other American colonies.

With his unusually liberal suffrage and full religious freedom, Penn's system was far ahead of its time. With the fact that Penn protected the Indians from alcohol and exploitative whites and strictly adhered to the land transfer treaties, Pennsylvania was spared from Indian raids. Penn had close contact with the neighboring Indian ethnic groups (such as the Lenni Lenape or the Iroquois) and spoke their languages.
