Can anyone name a city that was founded by a liberal viewed person or people?

Question

not is theory or your opinion...a person or persons that has proven to have liberal views...liberals as we define today in politics...

Answer 1

This is hard to answer as I do not know that how you define liberal in politics.

Philadelphia as well as Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn, a Quaker who was a pacifist, encouraged good relationships with Native Americans,and envisoned Pennsylvania as a utopia. Philadelphia's name meant the city of brotherly love.

Whether you would call him a liberal, he was certainly considered so in his time and place.

James Oglethorpe, who opposed debtor's prisons and slavery, both of them radical views in his day, founded Savannah, which was also laid out as a model city. He was a liberal in his time, but conservatives today would certainly join him in opposing slavery and debtor's prisons.

Roger Williams, who founded Providence, Rhode Island, insisted on strict separation of church and state, and the freedom of people to practice their own religion. including non-Christians, opposed swearing oaths and alligences to anybody except Jesus Christ, and was banned for Massachusets for rejecting its government. Under his leadership, Rhode Island became the first place in British America to pass lawsm aking slavery illegal.

Answer 2

Is there a point in that crazy little mind of yours??

Question is rather crazy. . . I don't get what your definition is of a liberal. See back then, liberal was different than it is now. People that were liberal back then are more catagorized as conservative now in this day. So the question is a failure in proving that liberals are lazy and unadventurous. But it does prove that conservatives tend to think of making themselves look good and are very self important. . .

Answer 3

Well...actually the whole of the United States was founded by "liberal" minded people. Some say America was a "masonic experiment".

Answer 4

I doubt very much that you could define what it is to be a liberal. The question is inane.
