Question

Which event led to the founding of Rhode Island.

Answer 1

Banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his radical views, Roger Williams purchased land from the Narragansett Indians and founded the first permanent white settlement in Providence in 1636.

Answer 2

The expulsion of Roger Williams by the puritan leader of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Step-by-step explanation:

Roger Williams was a puritan minister, theologian, and author who advocate of religious freedom, separation of church and state, and fair treatment to the Native Americans.

He was expelled from the Massachusetts Bay because of his thoughts and established the Providence Plantation on land given by the Narragansett people. The year after that, 1637, another group of dissenters from Massachusetts bought land from the Indians and named it Rhode Island.
