Burning for Revolution: The Wicked History

Roger Williams has been banished, sentenced to death, forced to flea, leaving behind his home, his wife, and his children. He was even admonished in exile, but there is no rest for the wicked, and Williams would not give up. Determined to establish a new home, he and his few followers will create something that may not have existed before. In this episode the first settlement of what became Rhode Island was founded, and the first steps to that revolutionary road were completed. This is the last episode of the first season, as I have now told Roger Williams' story, or at least the beginning of it, it is time to introduce more characters that will play a vital role in shaping Rhode Island's identity. I will be taking a brief break to research and produce the next season and hopefully provide the best experience possible!
