Best Answer

Roger Williams founded Rhode Island and William Penn founded Pennsylvania. Penn was a Quaker and wanted to create a colony where quakers wouldn't be persecuted. Williams was Anglican and wanted a colony with complete religious freedom. Penn got his land from the king and went by choice. Williams was banished from Massachusetts and purchased the land from the native population.

Were Roger Williams and William Penn Catholic?

No, neither of them were Catholic. Roger Williams was an ordained minister in the Church of England (Anglican), although after coming to the colonies, he started the first Baptist church here. William Penn also was probably raised an Anglican but was attracted to the Quakers. His father tried to separate him from Quaker influence, but after he died, he settled a claim for 16,000 pounds on him. The Crown, instead of paying the money back, gave him a large tract of land in the new world, which became Pennsylvania, which William Penn established for Quakers, although it attracted a lot more than just Quakers, particularly the Amish and Mennonites.
