Overview

At a little over 1,200 square miles, Rhode Island is the smallest state in the Union. It was the first to take up arms against England when it sank The Gaspee in Narragansett Bay. It was the last colony to become a state, and when the rest of the nation accepted prohibition, Rhode Island refused to ratify the 16th amendment. Psychologists here can find plenty of employment opportunities and good salaries.
