Answer:

The dissenterse who fled to Rhode Island had several different views, and they were led by Roger Williams, the minister who founded the colony.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of these views was that there should be separation of church and state, which meant that no church or congregation should be supported by tax dollars.

Another different view was related to religious freedom and tolerance. Roger Williams believed in Religious freedom and the Rhode Island Colony became a haven for religious dissenters.

Finally, Roger Williams and his followers felt that taking Native American land without proper payment was unfair, and this is why he paid Native Americans for the land before founding the Rhode Island Colony.
