In 1636, Roger Williams settled at the tip of Narragansett Bay after being banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his religious views, on land granted to him by the Narragansett tribe. He called the site "Providence Plantation" and declared it a place of religious freedom. Critics at the time sometimes referred to it as "Rogue's Island".

On July 15, 1663 King Charles II granted the Charter of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Colonial Rhode Island became a Charter Colony which was largely self-governed. The charter established the rules of government, but allowed the Rhode Island colonists a great amount of freedom within those rules.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

the foreign exploitation of their territory and resources

Explanation:

The Chinese people were struggling for several centuries, especially after they fell under the rule of the Manchu. The Manchu rulers were of different ethnic group, and they didn't had in their best interest the Chinese identity and unity, but the opposite. These rulers also allowed the European colonial powers to bribe them, and with it to be granted the best Chinese ports and the area surrounding them. This led to economic downfall of China, as the profit from the trade through their ports was going in the European pockets, and their natural resources were used, but the Chinese people were not getting anything from it. This led to revolt, and gradually to revival of the nationalism in China. The people started to unite for their common interest, and to work together for their best interest.
