DDH - The Expulsion of Roger Williams
In this episode of Dave Does History, we explore the banishment of Roger Williams from the Massachusetts Bay Colony on October 9, 1635. Williams’ radical ideas about religious freedom, the separation of church and state, and the rights of Native Americans put him at odds with the colony’s Puritan leadership. We’ll cover the events leading to his expulsion, his daring escape, and his founding of Providence, Rhode Island—a haven for religious tolerance. Learn how Williams' legacy shaped the fundamental values of America as we know it today.
