«Informations about Rhode Island»
«From its beginnings, Rhode Island has been distinguished by its
support for freedom of conscience and action: Clergyman Roger
Williams founded the present state capital, Providence, after being
exiled by the Massachusetts Bay Colony Puritans in 1636. Williams
was followed by other religious exiles who founded Pocasset, now
Portsmouth, in 1638 and Newport in 1639.
Rhode Island's rebellious, authority-defying nature was further
demonstrated by the burnings of the British revenue cutters Liberty
and Gaspee prior to the Revolution; by its early declaration of
independence from Great Britain in May 1776; by its refusal to
participate actively in the War of 1812; and by Dorr's Rebellion
of 1842, which protested property requirements for voting»
