The Puritan Protestants who came to the colonies were rebelling against the Church of England to establish their own Congregational churches most of them reverted to the medieval model. They wanted but one "church" (theirs) to exist in each colony, which became the "state." This existence meant "establishment" a term referring to the fact that financial, legal, and honorific privileges were extended to that one church and all others were seen as dissenters, tolerated at best and persecuted at worse. Nine of the 13 colonies had an establishment. The founders of Rhode Island were the exceptions.
