Roger Williams and the Founding of Rhode Island

Roger Williams stands as one of the most intriguing figures in early American history. A man of conviction, intellect, and unyielding commitment to the principles of religious liberty and the separation of church and state, Williams played a foundational role in the creation of Rhode Island, a colony that would become a haven for religious dissenters. His story is one of conflict, exile, and the birth of radical ideas that would shape the American ethos for centuries to come.
