Should Rhode Island change its name?

Black slavery was outlawed in Rhode Island very early in the 17th century, so there were few if any black slaves ever in the state. They did have some Indian slaves from captives in the wars with the local Indians early on. The African American experience just isn't part of the early history of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Everyone needs to have a better understanding of history, and changing a name only discourages people from learning it. I agree with you that bringing slavery up so often is not a positive thing for either whites or blacks.

What does surprise me is how many people know so little about the institution of slavery. I don't mean slavery in the US or even in the Americas, I mean slavery throughout history.
Here is a wiki link;

Your answers are generally too shot. I think you should take a little more time to write something more insightful and interesting. Instead of three fragments of sentences on three answers, considers putting together three insightful sentences on one answer!

@wingspress, to elaborate a bit; this is a discussion question not a poll. That's why I asked "What is your opinion and why (cite references)? "
So you should contribute a new idea, or a fact to support someone else's idea, etc.
Answers are generally too shot.
It was not a penal colony. You are right that the island is a small part of the small state. Woonsocket would be a good name for the state, it would stand out and not conflict with anything.
