Roger Williams

Significance
Williams is best known for being the founder of Rhode Island. He also had revolutionary ideas of tolerance and separation of church and state. The colony itself was a safe haven for Quakers, Jews, and others who were discriminated for their religion. His views of religious freedom were later put into both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He made a great impact on religion in our country, especially in the laws about it and how its diversity is seen today.
