John Winthrop was the leader of a group of englishmen called Puritans. He set up Massachusets to practice a new religion. But three people named Anne Hutchinson, Thomas Hooker, and Roger Williams split from the colony because they disagreed with Winthrop's ideas for the church. Anne Hutchinson founded the colony of Portsmouth, RI. Thomas Hooker founded the colony of Providence, RI. Roger Williams founded Conneticut colony. Hope this answers it :-)
