What did Anne Hutchinson do?
Anne Hutchinson was one of the English dissenters who separated from the Church of England. She held religious meetings in her house and preached her interpretation of the Bible and criticized the New England ministers for deluding their congregation. She was taken to court. She was accused of blasphemy and was banished from Massachusetts. She then moved to Roger Williams’ colony of Rhode Island, which was a safe haven for all religious backgrounds such as Jews and Quakers.
