bullet  General Notes:

A New England colonist who left Connecticut for the Rhode Island colonies founded by Reverend Roger Williams. Williams, along with other left-wing Puritans moved to Rhode Island when they found the atmosphere of the New England colonies intolerant of religious freedom, particularly in their dealings with the Native Americans. Williams was admired by the Indians, whose language he studied, because he respected their individuality, protected them against land-hungry members of his race, and never tried to convert them unless they asked for it.
