What was the main purpose of the Massachusetts Bay and Rhode Island colonies?

The second wave of English Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the New Haven Colony, and Rhode Island. These Puritans, unlike the Separatists, hoped to serve as a "city upon a hill" that would bring about the reform of Protestantism throughout the English Empire.

What made Rhode Island so different from other colonies?

Despite making profits from the slave trade, Rhode Island was the first colony to prohibit the importation of slaves. Also, Rhode Islanders were among the first colonists to take action against British rule when they attacked and burned the British revenue vessel, the sloop Liberty, in Newport on July 19, 1769.
