The settlement in Providence was led by Roger Williams, a religious dissenter and advocate for the separation of church and state. He founded Providence in 1636 after being banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony due to his beliefs. Williams established the settlement as a refuge for those seeking religious freedom, promoting principles of tolerance and fair treatment of Native Americans.
