Understand

Roger Williams, a Puritan linguist, merchant, and explorer founded Providence, Rhode Island, in June of 1636. Roger Williams was essentially kicked out of the Massachusetts Bay Colony for getting along too well with the local native populations, considering them to be essentially already Christians, who had just not heard of Jesus yet. This was a sufficient problem for Massachusetts Bay that they exiled him, leading to Williams and his followers seeking refuge among the Narragansett, who permitted them to build homes in what would become Providence.
