Roger Williams founded the first permanent white settlement in Rhode Island at Providence in 1636. Williams established a policy of religious and political freedom in his new settlement. Other leaders advocating freedom of worship soon established similar communities on either side of Narragansett Bay. These communities united, and in 1663 King Charles II of England granted them a royal charter, providing for a greater degree of self-government than any other colony in the New World and authorizing the continuation of freedom of religion.
The Rhode Island colony was founded as a refuge for religious dissenters from Massachusetts. It was founded by Roger Williams, who had been exiled from Massachusetts for advocating for the separation of church and state. Rhode Island was the first colony that guaranteed freedom and worship and legalized the separation of church and state.
Roger Williams founded Providence, Rhode Island's capital. He was kicked out of the Massachusetts Bay Colony for being a Quaker. He ran away when he heard that the settlers had sent a ship to bring him back to England. He was starving when some Indians found him and cared for him. Then he bought land from the Indians that was later to become Rhode Island. The new colony allowed freedom of religion and was tolerant of Native Americans. Many individuals came here after being rejected by other religiously oriented colonies. Roger Williams because believed in paying Indians for land, all men could vote, freedom of worship, and separation of church and state.
Williams, banished from Massachusetts for his beliefs, founded Providence in 1636. This colony served as a refuge where all could come to worship as their conscience dictated without interference from the state.
