What was the primary reason that roger Williams left the Massachusetts bay colony and founded road island colony

Answer 1

Roger Williams left the Massachusetts Bay Colony and founded the Rhode Island Colony primarily because of religious disagreements and differences in governing principles. He opposed the colony's theocratic Puritan government and believed in the separation of church and state. Williams also argued for the fair treatment of Native Americans and criticized the colony's land acquisition policies, which led to conflicts with the colonial authorities. Due to these conflicts, Williams was ordered to leave the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635, and he founded the Providence Plantations (later known as Rhode Island) as a place of religious freedom and democratic governance.
