Question

Though many colonies had strict laws about religion, which group settled the colony indicated on the map above as a place of religious tolerance, free of slavery?

Answer 1

Rhode Island

Roger Williams

Rhode Island became the first colony with no established church and the first to grant religious freedom to everyone, including Quakers and Jews.

Pennsylvania and New York were two other colonies known for their establishment of religious freedom.

Step-by-step explanation:

Northern or middle colony was without its slaves. From Puritan Massachusetts to Quaker Pennsylvania, Africans lived in bondage. Economics and geography did not promote the need for slave importation like the plantation South. Consequently, the slave population remained small compared to their southern neighbors.
