Questions 1 through 3 are based on this passage.
Roger Williams was a dissenter from an early age, having rebelled against his own father as a young boy to follow the path of the Puritans. He studied at Cambridge and became a cleric, but was notable even as a young chaplain for his strong belief in freedom of worship. After a year or two of butting his head against the strict High Church administration, Williams took his wife, Mary, and departed for Boston, arriving in 1631. Even in this new world, his radical ideas about the separation of church and state and the seizure of native land almost led to his deportation, and in 1636 he established his own colony-Providence Plantation, with a few like-minded followers.
