Roger Williams, Founder of Rhode Island, Arrived in Boston
February 5, 1631
What is your religion or spiritual belief? In the U.S., we can take it for granted that people are free to follow any belief they wish. Elsewhere, this often isn't the case.During the 17th century, people left England to escape religious persecution. Many colonists came to America to be able to freely practice their religions. Roger Williams was a defender of religious liberty who arrived in Boston on February 5, 1631.
