No, Roger Williams was not a Pilgrim. He was a Puritan minister and the founder of Rhode Island, known for his advocacy of religious freedom and the separation of church and state. While Pilgrims, like those who settled Plymouth Colony, sought religious refuge, Williams had more radical views on religious tolerance and the treatment of Native Americans. His beliefs led him to establish a colony where individuals could worship freely.
