What if King Williams had been a separatist?
If the king had been a Separatist, Williams would have accepted the land grants. And this was what drove the MBC Puritans to banish Williams.

Did Williams ever have a grudge against the MBC?

Williams himself bore no grudge against the people of the MBC. And some of us who live near Bay Road in Canton, Stoughton Sharon, Easton, Taunton etc. would like to know if he (and Ann Hutchinson) got to RI via Bay Road, the former Indian Trail.

Roger Williams, Rhode Island eyaletinin kurucusu olan Puritan din adamı, ilahiyatçı ve yazarıydı. 1603 civarında doğmuş ve 1683 yılında vefat etmiştir. Rhode Island Kolonisi ve Providence Plantations'ı kurmuştur. Williams, Rhode Island için bir şartname almak üzere 1643'te İngiltere'ye gitti ve 1651-54 yıllarında şartnamenin onaylanması için tekrar gitti. Bu ziyareti sırasında şair John Milton ile dost oldu. Rhode Island'ın şartnamesi altında ilk başkan olan Williams, vefatına kadar her zaman kamu görevinde bulunmuştur.

Ayrıca, Williams'ın Massachusetts Körfezi Kolonisi ilahiyatçısı John Cotton'ın 1647 kitabı 'Bloudy Tenent, Washed'ine yanıt olarak 1652 yılında 'The Bloody Tenent yet more Bloudy' adlı eseri yayımladığı bilinmektedir. Kendisine ait olduğu düşünülen gizemli bir 234 sayfalık kitap, "Roger Williams Mystery Book" adıyla 'Brown Üniversitesi'nin John Carter Brown Kütüphanesi'nde bulunmaktadır.

Williams'ın Massachusetts Körfezi Kolonisi'ne karşı bir düşmanlığının olmadığı bilinmektedir. Rhode Island'ın dini özgürlükteki "canlı deneyi", koloninin Baptistler, Quakerlar, Yahudiler ve diğer dini azınlıklar için bir sığınak haline gelmesini sağlamıştır. Rhode Island'ın kurucusu olan Roger Williams'ın, bu koloniye dini özgürlüğü getirerek bıraktığı en somut mirası olmuştur.
