Answer 2

Roger Williams established a new colony in Rhode Island as a result of his argument with church leaders in Plymouth Colony. After being banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony for his beliefs, Williams sought a place where he could practice his religious and political views freely. In 1636, he purchased land from the Narragansett tribe and founded the settlement of Providence. This settlement became the foundation for the colony of Rhode Island, which was known for its commitment to religious freedom and separation of church and state. Williams' colony welcomed individuals of various religious backgrounds and became a haven for those seeking religious tolerance.
