Farming
If you come within the next week, along with your free bar of chocolate, you will also get 5 acres of rich farmland along with 3 slaves to tend your crops.
Founding of Rhode Island
Rhode Island was founded by Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson when both were "banished" from Massachusetts by preaching other ideas. (Hutchinson escaped two years after Williams) Williams was cared for through the winter by Indians and later bought land from them to start his own colony, Rhode Island.
The Best of the English Colonies
Don't go to those other colonies, like Pennsylvania, the land of the Quakers, with their silly ideas of equality; or like Virginia, with their huge population of poor slaves; or like Georgia, with people who can't pay off their debts; or even like New York, with people who can't even sustain a simple democracy. Come to Rhode Island where we have vast beaches, high-quality farmland, religious freedom for all, and best of all, chocolate.
