I have visited Rhode Island (Providence and Newport) and enjoyed it but didn't know about the true tolerance present in the state charter, and early take on the "celebrate diversity" motto that we hear so much these days.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10882248671520480556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-75560941148778022882009-12-17T16:20:00.112-05:002009-12-17T16:20:00.112-05:00That top building is pretty bloody big!That top building is pretty bloody big!Kris McCrackenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789355638389350528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-64203430770928541532009-12-17T16:02:43.286-05:002009-12-17T16:02:43.286-05:00wow...chocked full of information...I'll need ...wow...chocked full of information...I'll need to do a second read to get it all in!

Many people believe that the Puritans came here seeking religious freedom when it actuality they came in order to "build their city on the hill" and create a truly religious society. Thanks for all the other history of Rhode Island as well; truly fascinating.Kate Hanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02089480767005955018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-53296608915512536822009-12-17T09:24:07.091-05:002009-12-17T09:24:07.091-05:00Excellent post, Roy.
