Historic Event
February 5th, 1631
Colonist Roger Williams arrives in
America. Roger Williams is a
religious leader from
England. Roger Williams gets in trouble in
Massachusetts for disagreeing with the community's
punishment of
religious dissension and his criticism of the confiscation of
Indian land. He is banished from the Colony and starts a new one in present day
Rhode Island.
Other political and religious dissenters join him, including Anne
Hutchinson, the Quakers and the first Jewish
settlers in
America. It is
here that Roger Williams founds the first Baptist Church in
America.
