RI was founded by Roger WIlliams. He had become unhappy in Massachusetts Bay. Did not like the control of the chuch or the way Indians were being treated. RI was the first colony to have separation of church and state and religious freedom for all. Colonists were also required to purchase land from the Indians.
One reason Roger William found Rhode Island is because the religious freedom, he was banished on England for his beliefs in separation of church and state and freedom of religion. Your Welcom. Strangers ;)
A man named Roger Williams was kicked out of Massachusetts because he rebelled against the religious practice of the Puritans and he formed Rhode Island for freedom of religion also it was a place where Puritans were able to practice different religions.
Setllers went to rhode island because they went to inhabit new lands have a better life and be also free.
My understanding is tgat it was begun for Roman Catholics attempting to worship in freedom from the interference of the Church of England.
they decided to come together since the wars , and grew tomatoes together.This started the slave rev.
One example of a colony where religious reasons were less important in explaining its founding is the New Netherland colony. The primary motivation behind the establishment of New Netherland was economic gain and the fur trade, rather than religious freedom or a mission to spread a particular faith. The Dutch West India Company played a significant role in establishing the colony as a trading outpost.

As a colony dedicated to religious freedom.
Oglethorpe's primary reasons for founding the colony of Georgia were to establish a place for former debt prisoners to have a place to establish a new life and to keep them from falling into a life of crime.

For the founding of Jamestown, over 20 years in England, Engalnd tried to plant another colony. So, they sailed of to America, found a colony and named it after King James I. For the founding of Plymouth, pilgrims didn't want to join the church in England and the government took action against them. They fined the pilgrims, jailed them, and some were even executed. Pretty awful huh? Hoped that helped you! :)

The Virginia Colony was special for a few reasons. First, it was the largest colony. Also, it was very prosperous. Virginia is the birthplace of many founding fathers. It is also home to several of our earliest Presidents.
At the time of the founding of the leper colony on Molokai, leprosy was epidemic in Hawaii. Molokai was the least heavily used island at the time, and there was space available for the leper colony. The founders believed that it was important to keep the lepers away from healthy people, and the remoteness of the colony allowed this separation.
