Rhode Island
Roger Williams!
Roger Williams settled Providence in 1636. He founded the settlement as a refuge for those seeking religious freedom, separating from the Massachusetts Bay Colony due to his belief in the separation of church and state. Williams' principles of tolerance and individual conscience laid the groundwork for the establishment of Rhode Island.
Roger Williams called the land he settled "Providence." He founded the settlement in 1636 as a refuge for those seeking freedom of conscience and religious liberty. Williams named it Providence to reflect his belief that God's providence had led him to this place, where he could establish a community based on tolerance and separation of church and state.
