Anne Hutchinson founded the town of Portsmouth in present-day Rhode Island in 1638. She, along with other dissenters from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, sought refuge from religious persecution and established a community based on her beliefs in religious freedom and individual interpretation of The Bible. Portsmouth became part of the larger movement toward greater religious tolerance in the region.
