Continuing off DarkNacht...

They may or may not be in this game, but you can see evidence of them all around.
Argentis wrote:-Religious persecutions (we can have a whole bunch of different religions, Jeovah Witnesses, Mormons, Calvins, etc...)

Providence was founded because of religious persecution and founded somewhat on tolerance. Jeovah Witnesses and Mormons didn't exist at the time.
Argentis wrote:-Pirates

You're right Providence became a hub of piracy, but as you can see we have pirate clothing, and there was darkness friday event which was fueled by pirates selling their wares.
Argentis wrote:-Taxes

...Own a stall and tell me if we have taxes or not.
Argentis wrote:-Revolts

I'm not familar with any Revolts in Rhode Island History before 1776, are you?
Argentis wrote:- Slaves.

Rhode Island was the first colony to ban slavery.

Ahah I guess it got wrecked.
But for Native Americans it was more than traces back in the time.
We do have taxes but they stay at the same level. (And I own a stall).
And did Rhode Island ban Slavery before the 1700s?

The internet insists that it was not the case. They were having slaves all over the place.

the internet told me this

Assuming they are lying, they have put so much work into this.

I'm not sure summarizing a book from 1942 on a poorly made web site counts as a lot of work.
In 1652 Rhode Island banned slavery but you could still have a black indentured servant for up to 10 years, but indentured servitude was common everywhere in the colonies for both whites and blacks and was not quite the same as slavery.

According to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Rhode_Island and more reliable this http://www.brown.edu/Facilities/John_Carter_Brown_Library/jcbexhibit/Pages/exhibSlavery.html the law wasn't enforced and the slave market prevails until the later years of 1700s.

Yeah just like most if not all antislavery laws (I'm looking at you Lincoln).
