Roger Williams and Rhode Island
In 1636, Roger Williams settled at the tip of Narragansett Bay after being banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his religious views, on land granted to him by the Narragansett tribe. He called the site "Providence Plantation" and declared it a place of religious freedom. (It is no accident that the oldest surviving synagogue in North America is the Touro Synagogue in Rhode Island.) Critics at the time sometimes referred to it as "Rogue's Island",[3]and Cotton Mather called it "the sewer of New England."[4]
