PROVIDENCE The story goes that on May 4, 1776, Rhode Island, which already had a bit of a reputation, thanks to its radical religious dissent from the Puritans up north in Massachusetts Bay Colony, became the first Colony in North America to renounce its allegiance to King George III. Two months later, the other 12 Colonies formally broke their ties with the crown. The State Archives vault holds the original document of the Act of Renunciation, showing sections about the king crossed out. But the actual declaring of independence didn’t occur until the General Assembly ratified the Declaration of Independence in Newport on July 18, 1776. And Rhode Island was actually the last state to ratify the new American Constitution more than 14 years later, on May 29, 1790.
