Roger Williams was one of the most influential figures in early New England history. A charismatic Massachusetts preacher, he began to break with Protestant beliefs by claiming that Christians who’ve been “saved” need not live their lives according to any moral code. Williams later leaves his community and lives among Native Americans. William Bradford claims to respect Williams greatly, though he prays that Williams will reconsider his beliefs.
