e.) the colony became a haven for Protestants of all kinds, but it banned Jews.

Roger Williams established the colony of Rhode Island in 1636 with the idea of providing a haven for religious freedom. Rhode Island became known for its commitment to religious toleration and acceptance of various Protestant denominations, attracting settlers seeking religious freedom. However, it's important to note that while Rhode Island was more tolerant than some other colonies, it did not necessarily extend full religious freedom to everyone, as evidenced by the exclusion of Jews from certain rights and privileges in the colony.
