Question: On what date was the battle of the state founded by the man who also formed the first Baptist group in what is now the U.S.?

<P0-S0> Continental Army and militia forces under the command of General John Sullivan had been besieging the British forces in Newport, Rhode Island, which is situated on Aquidneck Island, but they had finally abandoned their siege and were withdrawing to the northern part of the island. <P0-S1> The British forces then sortied, supported by recently arrived Royal Navy ships, and they attacked the retreating Americans. <P0-S2> The battle ended inconclusively, but the Continental forces withdrew to the mainland and left Aquidneck Island in British hands. <P0-S3> The Battle of Rhode Island (also known as the Battle of Quaker Hill and the Battle of Newport) took place on August 29, 1778. <SEP> <P1-S0> In 1638, Roger Williams established the first Baptist congregation in the North American colonies. <P1-S1> Historians trace the earliest church labeled Baptist back to 1609 in Amsterdam, with English Separatist John Smyth as its pastor. <P1-S2> In accordance with his reading of the New Testament, he rejected baptism of infants and instituted baptism only of believing adults. <P1-S3> Baptist practice spread to England, where the General Baptists considered Christ's atonement to extend to all people, while the Particular Baptists believed that it extended only to the elect. <P1-S4> In the mid-18th century, the First Great Awakening increased Baptist growth in both New England and the South. <P1-S5> The Second Great Awakening in the South in the early 19th century increased church membership, as did the preachers' lessening of support for abolition and manumission of slavery, which had been part of the 18th-century teachings. <P1-S6> Baptist missionaries have spread their church to every continent. <SEP> <P2-S0> the dollar was first based on the value and look of the spanish dollar, used widely in spanish america from the 16th to the 19th centuries. <P2-S1> the first dollar coins issued by the united states mint (founded 1792) were similar in size and composition to the spanish dollar, minted in mexico and peru. <P2-S2> the spanish, u.s. silver dollars, and later, mexican silver pesos circulated side by side in the united states, and the spanish dollar and mexican peso remained legal tender until the coinage act of 1857. the coinage of various english colonies also circulated. <P2-S3> the lion dollar was popular in the dutch new netherland colony (new york), but the lion dollar also circulated throughout the english colonies during the 17th century and early 18th century. <P2-S4> examples circulating in the colonies were usually worn so that the design was not fully distinguishable, thus they were sometimes referred to as "dog dollars". <SEP> <P3-S0> The phrase was later used by Thomas Jefferson as a description of the First Amendment and its restriction on the legislative branch of the federal government, in an 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptists (a religious minority concerned about the dominant position of the Congregationalist church in Connecticut): <P3-S1> The phrase "[A] hedge or wall of separation between the garden of the church and the wilderness of the world" was first used by Baptist theologian Roger Williams, the founder of the colony of Rhode Island, in his 1644 book The Bloody Tenent of Persecution. <SEP> <P4-S0> baptist missionary work in canada began in the british colony of nova scotia (present day nova scotia and new brunswick) in the 1760s. <P4-S1> the first official record of a baptist church in canada was that of the horton baptist church (now wolfville) in wolfville, nova scotia on 29 october 1778. the church was established with the assistance of the new light evangelist henry alline. <P4-S2> many of alline's followers, after his death, would convert and strengthen the baptist presence in the atlantic region. <P4-S3> [page needed] two major groups of baptists formed the basis of the churches in the maritimes. <P4-S4> these were referred to as regular baptist (calvinistic in their doctrine) and free will baptists.
