Roger William’s Key into the Language of America was very important because it shows in a different perspective the life of the people that lived in the New World. He showed the relations between the puritans and the Native Americans which inspired ideals of freedom that are still very present in the American culture.

William also pointed the need for religious tolerance - which was one of the main reasons of the American colonization - and individual freedom, which also passed by accepting and integrating Native Americans as part of the community at the same time that it did not erase their faith in Christ.

One of the main importance of Key into the Language of America was the portrait of the culture of that time that today is completely different. It is a very important record of the language of the Narragansett people and their history.
