Roger Williams Part 2

from History Distilled Hosted by Team Elendil

In this episode, we finish our discussion of Roger Williams, who was a significant figure in early colonial America. We discuss his contributions to the colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and his role in the establishment of religious freedom in the New World. Special Thanks to "A History of the American People" by Paul Johnson for providing most of the content for this video. Please check out his book if you want to learn US history. It is the best book I have found on the topic. Also thanks to Wikipedia and Google Gemini for filling in additional details for the story. Thanks to our monthly supporters Dan
