After Roger Williams founded the colony of Rhode Island, Thomas Hooker, another Puritan Minister, founded the colony of Connecticut. The followers who came from Massachusetts with Hooker were originally Puritans, practicing a modified form of Puritanism from that of the Plymouth Colony, one more tolerant and freer than the Plymouth version of the theology. After many years, several modifications, and the help of Ralph Walldo Emerson, the theology morphed into what is very much like the values of the present day Unitarian Universalist Church in the United States.
