Roger Williams was a minister in Salem and he stated his beliefs in his sermons. He and his followers believed that their church should be separate from the colonial government. They also believed that Puritan leaders should not punish people for having different beliefs. He also disagreed with Puritan leaders over their treatment of Native Americans. John Winthrop and the other Puritan leaders decided to punish Williams for his dissent. They held a trial and found him guilty of spreading "new and dangerous opinions." In 1635 the leaders voted to expel Williams from Massachusetts or force him to leave.
