In a time filled with religious extremists; there was actually little freedom. If I were to live in a colony during the 1700's, I would want to live in Rhode Island. For one, they have actual religious freedom. Unlike other colonies there was no established religion. Other persecuted groups chose to live in Rhode Island such as Quakers and Jews (the primary reason I would live here). Rhode Island also had better relationships with Native Americans than, say, other colonies in New England.
I would definitely not want to live in some of the southern (and some northern) states because of the vicious and infamous KKK.
