Who established providence after he was ordered to leave massechusetts colony?

Roger Williams established Providence after he was ordered to leave the Massachusetts Colony in 1635 due to his views on religious freedom and the separation of church and state. He sought to create a place where individuals could practice their faith without persecution. Williams founded Providence Plantations, which later became part of Rhode Island, emphasizing tolerance and coexistence among different religions.


Who was the torch bearer of religious freedom that founded providence plantation in 1636?

Roger Williams was an English clergyman who, in 1636, left the repressive atmosphere fostered by the Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay Colony to found the first permanent European settlement in Rhode Island. This settlement, called "Providence Plantations" was the first organized colony in America to be founded on the principles of freedom of thought and worship. The official name of Rhode Island is "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations". It can be traced in this form back to the Royal Charter of 1663, granted to the Rhode Island colonists by King Charles II of England. In the Charter, it is the "Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations".http://www.sec.state.ri.us/library/riinfo/know-rhode-island/
