Roger Williams exemplified “seeds of dissent” by promoting the separation of church and state and promoting the compensation of Indian land. During the early 1600s, many settlers fled to the newly established English colonies in an attempt to express their own religious freedom. During this time, all English citizens had to abide by the Church of England rules which were heavily influenced by the Catholic faith. The Catholic faith did not promote freedom of expression and exploited its followers with “works”: a payment system which would allow the parishioner to enter through the Gates of Heaven. In addition, settlers fled to the new world to express their own religious beliefs and to escape the Catholic religion.
