how did Rhode Island become a state?



Independence

Newport, Portsmouth, and Providence united in 1644 to form the Rhode Island and Providence Plantations ("plantation" is a British English word for "colony") with the aim of fighting for their independence. On May 4th, 1776, Rhode Island was the first colony to renounce allegiance to the Great Britain and declare its independence. However, Rhode Island was the last state to ratify the United States Constitution. It finally did so on May 29, 1790, following threats of having its exports taxed as if from a foreign country
