Champion had thus spent the first months of 1835 puttering about the colony, studying Dutch, visiting mission stations, and preaching occasionally in chapels and on the Cape Town wharf to a "motley collection" of slaves, coolies,(1) honest tars, and respectable gentlemen.

 ROGER WILLIAMS - Champion of Liberty
Rhode Island was an open door to all people; a safe harbor in a vast sea of tyranny and oppression; a safe harbor with a bright beacon shining forth the light of liberty, a bright beacon that was Roger Williams.
Before founding Rhode Island, Roger Williams was exiled by law from Salem in the Massachusetts Bay Colony after being repeatedly hauled before the Salem Court of witch-trial fame for spreading "diverse, new, and dangerous opinions" that questioned the Church.
Perhaps most heretical among Roger's many "dangerous opinions" was challenging the King of England's claim to the American colonies with the counter-claim that the rightful owners of the land were the native Americans, not the King of England.
