The following spring his Salem congregation joined him, and Williams' hut became a village. Soon many other people came to join the settlement.

The type of people who settled in Rhode Island, were individuals who were allowed to form their own religious organizations, and worship freely without government with the churches.

As a result, they often went into commerce. Settling in Newport, they soon turned the city into a thriving commercial center.
