Roger Williams' Puritan beliefs and nonconformist values brought him across the Atlantic to Plymouth in 1631. An extremely intelligent man, he never thought twice about arguing his convictions and beliefs and made his viewpoints well known. However, his views on religion and government soon raised red flags in the eyes of Massachusetts authorities in Salem and Boston. By denouncing the Massachusetts Bay charter, which allowed the confiscation of Native American land without compensation and the punishment of religious transgression, he infuriated the elders managing Plymouth. Yet Williams truly believed that the charter was morally and religiously wrong.
To further agitate officials, he argued that a Christian would know when he was saved, but that it was impossible to tell the salvation of others. Therefore, he thought that the religious requirement needed to vote was senseless. In more basic terms, Williams believed in complete separation of church and state, which authorities didn't like because this would undermine their authority.
In 1635, he was dismissed from the church and placed under an order of expulsion from the colony. Although he was given the chance to amend his rebellious ways, he refused it and instead continued to voice his opinions. When officials demanded he be sent back to England, Williams left Massachusetts on his own and in 1636, he and his followers established the settlement of Providence on Narragansett Bay, a colony that was well known for paying the Native Americans for their land.
In 1644, Williams received a royal charter for Rhode Island. Under his leadership, Rhode Island became a safe haven for those who suffered from religious persecution, such as the Quakers.
Anne Hutchinson also ran into problems because of her outspoken and unusual religious beliefs. Hutchinson supported the covenant of grace (or faith alone) as the key to salvation, instead of the Puritan emphasis on the covenant of good works. She also thought that God revealed himself to individuals without the clergy. Like Williams, she was a threat to the clergy's power.
John Winthrop soon grew wary of Hutchinson and her fanaticism and warned her that women shouldn't immerse themselves in such deep theological matters. Soon after, Winthrop and John Cotton led the opposition to Hutchinson and charged that she was guilty of antinomian heresy. Brought to trial before the General Court in 1637, she was found guilty and expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Once expelled, Hutchinson was forced to join other dissenters in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
Both of these religious dissenters went to Rhode Island because of their radically different views of religion and society.

In 1643, the Indians of southern New England and New York rose up in an effort to stop further European settlement on their lands. Anne Hutchinson was killed. A victim of the times and the society in which she lived. Roger Williams is the only one considered the founder of Rhode Island.

The women in the bible study that Anne left behind in Salem, Massachusetts, were accused of witchcraft, were convicted in secret trials, and were executed. Cotton Mather wrote a letter to the great English theologian John Owen explaining that something had gone terribly wrong with Christianity. John Owen wrote a book on The New Testament Church and sent it to Cotton. As a result Massachusetts changed the form of government of both the church and the state. Instead of secret meetings and secret trials, they went to open meetings and open trials. The town meeting replaced the city council meeting in secret. When King George III reinstituted secret trials, the Americans thought they came from the devil. Anne Hutchinson established a farm on the banks of the Hudson, in New York. She was killed in an Indian raid. Roger Williams went to Rhode Island and established a colony where anyone could live regardless of religious belief. He wrote prolifically.
