One reason for the establishment of the colony of Rhode Island was that Roger Williams believed in religious tolerance, which was not practiced in Massachusetts. Williams was a Puritan minister who was expelled from Massachusetts for his views on the separation of church and state and the importance of religious freedom. He founded Rhode Island as a refuge for those seeking religious liberty.
