In providing for the issue of a series of historical studies relating to Rhode Island, adapted to use in school, the Department of Education is fortunate in being able to present, a~ an initial number, Mr. Eaton's study of "Roger Williams, the Founder of Providence." It was first delivered as an address before the Rhode Island Historical Society on the second of October, 1906, upon the unveiling of the ·tablets placed by the State to mark the site of the spring where the settlers first landecl. and the site of the Roger Williams Home Lot. As the founder 6f Providence, as a leading actor in the beginnings of Rhode Island, and as one of the few famous Americans of Colonial times whose names will endure, Roger Williams is certainly a great historical personage, of whose life and times every pupil in our schools should have knowledge.

John Brown's India Point by Caroline Frank Rhode Island History
John Brown's India Point By Caroline Frank Rhode Island History, Volume 61, Number 3 (November 2003), pp. 51-69. Digitally re-presented from .pdf available courtesy the RI Historical Society at: http://www.rihs.org/assetts/files/publications/2003_Fall.pdf Lying beneath Interstate 195 in Providence, just before it crosses the Seekonk River on the Washington Bridge, is a grassy half-mile strip of waterfront property. Other than an occasional jogger circling its neatly looped sidewalks, until recently few people visited this spot. Its abandoned gravel-and-mud ball fields and its rapidly silting-over shoreline seemed to announce just one more inner-city waterfront obituary. The space clung weakly to some idea of a park; yet it looked like the end of the line, literally and figuratively. Arriving from the north via Gano Street or from the west via India Street, directed by highway or street signs to pass under 1-195, expectant visitors reached India Point and found nowhere to go and no reason to stay. The shadow of the highway above and rotting, submerged pilings below were all that remotely linked this forgotten spot to glorious moments in its past as a major coastal transportation center. The property was virtually featureless. Roger Williams first paddled his boat around the rocky bluff of India Point in 1636. The initial intention among his small group of disaffected Puritans was to establish a settlement near this spot, across the Seekonk River from Plymouth Colony, but they found a more desirable location on the river to the west, around Foxes Hill (on Fox Point).

Chronicles of Brunonia
Chronicles of Brunonia The Things They Planted Molly Jacobson Almost four hundred years ago, Roger Williams and his companions paddled down the Seekonk River and landed on the Rhode Island shore. Surrounded by wilderness, with no outside aid and scarce resources, these first settlers slowly raised their farms and homesteads, scavenged for food, and drafted laws for their community. http://dl.lib.brown.edu/cob Copyright © 2008 Molly Jacobson Written in partial fulfillment of requirements for E. Taylor’s EL18 or 118: “Tales of the Real World” in the Nonfiction Writing Program, Department of English, Brown University. Today, relics of the first European settlers of Rhode Island are buried mentally and physically by Providence. Asphalt runs over apple orchards Thomas Angell used to own. The Old State House presides over the western part of John Sweet’s fields. Waterman Street, which hugs Brown University, is the final legacy of the Englishman who lent it his name, while Brown’s English Department sits atop the northern end of his garden. The first Baptist Church in America straddles the original Francis Weston homestead. When these men and others left the Puritan settlement at Massachusetts in the early 1600s, they found immaculate countryside across the Seekonk River. Religious outcasts and enterprising colonists united to establish the Providence Plantations, laying ground for a singularly liberal colony. Today, historians herald them for their tolerance and independence. But these lofty ideals belie a more immediate human struggle. Before industry and new immigrants, the founders of Providence toiled dutifully by primitive farmhouses along the Seekonk to feed their families.

English Colonization in the 19 Century
English Colonization in the 19th Century Examples of Colonial disunity were not surprising – Reasons: English Crown awarded colonial charters to: 1. Merchants 2. Religious idealists – different types of colonists 3. Adventurers Decisions to Emigrate 1. Rapid Population growth (1580-1650) in England created competition for food and jobs 2. New World was the land of opportunity 3. Institute a purer form of worship 4. Escape poverty, debt, jail terms, bad marriages 5. Religious and political persecution in Spain and England Upon arriving the colonist brought ideas and subcultures of which some were changed by the American environment. The New England colonies, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies all were distinct in various ways A. Economy B. Religion The Chesapeake: Dreams of Wealth Post Roanoke, New World interest lessened English interest reappeared with English rivalry with Spain Jamestown Colonization was very costly Solution – Joint Stock Company, large amounts of cash available with a stock investment plan, with hopes of high cash returns. 1st charter – London Company – John Smith 30 miles up the James River Problem – wealth was the motivation, not permanent settlement. Wealth rather than farming (planting corn) Captain John Smith – Prevented a Roanoke repeat A. Brought order and prevented anarchy B. Traded with Native American tribes for food C. Mapped the Chesapeake Bay D. Instituted military rule John Smith was rescued by Pocahontas Reorganization in government allowed for joint stock investment to be opened to the general public. Difficulties continue, a supply ship headed to Jamestown crashed in Bermuda John Smith suffered a gun powder injury and returned to England.

State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations at the End of The
CHAP1'ER X. ANDROS AND THE ROYAL GOVERNORS, 1888-1701. The rule of Andros was looked forward to with less fear in Rhode Island than in any other colony. The establishment of this new authority in New England meant, first of all, the transference of all political power from the hands of the colonists to Andros and his council. Laws could be made from which there was no appeal, financial systems altered, and taxes levied by strangers who little understood local wants and requirements. The provision in Andros's commi8Bion allowing him to grant land upon payment of quit-rents was also fraught with much danger, particularly in this country, where soil was the chief item of wea.lth. But the most hated attack upon New England's institutions was the establishing of tolerance in. religion. In order to obtain a foothold for the Church of England, Episcopal forms and rites were introduced and the Baptist, Quakers, and other despised sects were elevated to influence at the expense of the Puritan ehurch. It was not liberty of conscience as a principle, but it signified the downfall of theocracy. All these invasions of former rights were felt most in Massachusetts, the especial object of royal interference, and leut in Rhode Island. In the latter colony there \\'8S little commerce to lay duties upon, the collecting of any tax whatever was sure to be attended with considerable difficulty, and there was no established church to feel the effects of Andros'8 attitude on religion. The coming of the new rule meant that Rhode Island was guaranteed protection against the oppressions and incursions of her neighbors, and was destined to enjoy a longer period of repose than had ever been her privilege before.
