Best Answer

Roger Williams was banished to England by theMassachusetts Bay Colony for his beliefs in separation of church and state and freedom of religion. He fled and lived with the Narragansett Indians and formed Providence in 1636.

Anne Hutchinson was also banished for speaking out against the Church in Massachusetts Bay. She formed Portsmouth.

Two other settlements arose and all four joined together with permission from England to form Providence Plantations - later called Rhode Island.
