The Dutch never came to or settled in Rhode Island. Dutch Jews fleeing Recife, Brazil settled Rhode Island and named it Rood Eylandt since its clay looked Ruby Red from a distance. They attributed the discovery of the island as an omen of riches to come...new land of wealth. These Jews became extremely wealthy over time trading in whale oil, slaves and rum. Their refusal to pay taxes on this wealth to England contributed to the start of the American revolution. During the revolution, the Island was bombarded by the British and the Jews fled to NY City where they settled in a more permanent fashion.
