The Providence Colony, founded in 1636 by Roger Williams, was notable for its commitment to religious freedom and separation of church and state. Located in present-day Rhode Island, it became a refuge for those seeking liberty from religious persecution. Williams and his followers established a government based on democratic principles, allowing for greater individual liberties compared to other colonies. This emphasis on tolerance and diversity influenced the development of American ideals regarding freedom of conscience and human rights.
