This document summarizes the rebellion of three 17th century figures - Roger Williams, Anne Hutchinson, and Thomas Morton - against the Puritan authorities in America. It describes how Williams founded Rhode Island to establish religious freedom after being banished from Massachusetts for his beliefs. Hutchinson was also banished for challenging Puritan gender norms and discussing the Bible freely. Morton antagonized the Puritans by partying with Native Americans and mocking their customs. Though initially seen as troublemakers, all three came to be respected in later centuries as pioneers of religious tolerance and freedom of expression in America.
