Roger Williams and a group of religious followers founded the town of
Providence in what is today known as Rhode Island after their
banishment from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Williams believed in the
importance of liberty of conscience, which became an important
principle in the founding of Rhode Island and ultimately in the
founding of the United States. Officially called "The State of Rhode
Island and Providence Plantations," Rhode Island is one of the six New
England states and one of the original 13 states of the Union,
entering in 1790. It is the smallest state in area in the country.
Rhode Island's flower is the violet, and the capital is Providence.
The exact origin of the state name is unknown.
