How did puritans feel about Pirates hiding in Rhode Island? Help me please
Answers
Answer:
With its white sandy beaches, turquoise seas and lush, verdant interior, the island of Providence looks like most people's idea of a Caribbean paradise.
But beyond its tropical beauty, lies a troubled and turbulent history. The tiny island off Nicaragua was settled in 1631 by English Puritans intent on founding a colony to compete with the colony of Plymouth which had been founded a decade before. Instead, Providence took a turn for the worse with crop failure, a slave revolt and a Spanish invasion.
Though its violent past may have been consigned to the history books, today the island of 5,000 is blighted by drug trafficking and struggles to survive because many young islanders have abandoned the fishing and traditional trades of their forebears to seek wealth elsewhere.
The fascinating past of Providence, or Providencia, as it known in Colombia which owns the island, has been examined in detail in the book 'The Island that Disappeared' by British author Tom Feiling, who found some aspects of life there still mirror the incredible complexities of its past.
