Roger Williams was excommunicated from the Massachusetts Bay colony for his beliefs.

Explanation:

The Colony of Rhode Island was founded after Roger Williams was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636. He was banished because of his religious beliefs. Therefore, when he settled in a new area, he decided to create a place of religious freedom that welcomed all people. He named this new settlement Providence Plantations. This was the beginning of the Rhode Island colony. The name was first changed when Providence, Portsmouth and Newport united, becoming the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
