The pilgrims did not settle here. I think they either settled in North Carolina or Massachusetts. Glad I could help:)
The Puritans did not move to Rhode Island. However many exiled Puritans found refuge there.
As a haven for exiled Puritans.
Exiled Puritans.
THEY ARE PURITANS.

The Puritans colonized and kicked Roger Williams out of their community. Then Roger Williams founded the colony of Rhode Island.

Rhode Island founded by Roger Williams
Rhode Island is where the religious dissenter went. The Puritans were not big fans of religious tolerance. In fact Roger Williams the founder of Rhode Island fled his home in the middle of a cold January night in order to avoid arrest for his religious views. The Puritans "shining City on a Hill" was not for people who did not agree with them.
Rhode is also a Greek island: its name meaning "Rose".
The settlers in Massachusetts who disagreed with the Puritans were sent away from this location. They then founded the Rhode Island colony.
I'm not really sure but I think they practiced their religion, they hunted, and fished.
