Anne Hutchinson
Puritan leaders had banned Anne Hutchinson from Massachusetts because Hutchinson criticized Puritan ministers. She also held meetings in her home where men and women talked about religion. Puritan leaders did not like this.
Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson challenged Puritan orthodoxy by advocating for the separation of church and state and emphasizing individual conscience. Williams argued for religious freedom and the need to treat Native Americans fairly, which contradicted the Puritan's rigid societal norms. Hutchinson questioned the authority of clergy and promoted antinomianism, asserting that faith alone was sufficient for salvation. Their views threatened the Puritan establishment, leading to their exile from the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
One result of the Puritan was was the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony as a theocratic society where strict religious laws were enforced.
John Wheelwright was banned from Massachusetts in 1637 due to his strong anti-Puritan beliefs and his support for Anne Hutchinson, who was also expelled for her controversial religious views. Wheelwright had preached a sermon that challenged the established Puritan orthodoxy, advocating for a more direct and personal relationship with God. His teachings were seen as a threat to the Puritan leaders, leading to his banishment and eventual establishment of the town of Exeter in New Hampshire.
