One reason for the establishment of the colony of Rhode Island was the belief in religious tolerance, which wasn’t practiced in Massachusetts. Rhode Island was founded by Roger Williams in 1636 after he was expelled from Massachusetts due to his views on religious freedom and the separation of church and state. Williams advocated for a more inclusive approach to religion, allowing people to practice their beliefs without persecution.
