Most early settlers came to the colonies of Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island primarily for religious freedom. Maryland was established as a haven for Catholics, Massachusetts attracted Puritans seeking to practice their faith, Pennsylvania was founded by Quakers advocating for religious tolerance, and Rhode Island attracted various dissenters seeking refuge from religious persecution. Additionally, these colonies offered opportunities for land and economic advancement, but the quest for religious liberty was a driving force behind their establishment.
The Rhode Island colony was known for its religious tolerance and welcomed a diverse group of people, including dissenters from Puritan Massachusetts, such as Baptists, Quakers, and Jews. Founded by Roger Williams in 1636, it became a refuge for those seeking freedom from religious persecution.

As a result, Rhode Island became one of the most progressive colonies for its time regarding religious freedom and diversity.
