Why did Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson decide to found their own land?
Roger Williams' Puritan beliefs and nonconformist values brought him across the Atlantic to Plymouth in 1631. An extremely intelligent man, he never thought twice about arguing his convictions and beliefs and made his viewpoints well known. However, his views on religion and government soon raised red flags in the eyes of Massachusetts authorities in Salem and Boston. By denouncing the Massachusetts Bay charter, which allowed the confiscation of Native American land without compensation and the punishment of religious transgression, he infuriated the elders managing Plymouth. Yet Williams truly believed that the charter was morally and religiously wrong.To further agitate officials, he argued that a Christian would know when he was saved, but that it was impossible to tell the salvation of others. Therefore, he thought that the religious requirement needed to vote was senseless. In more basic terms, Williams believed in complete separation of church and state, which authorities didn't like because this would undermine their authority.In 1635, he was dismissed from the church and placed under an order of expulsion from the colony. Although he was given the chance to amend his rebellious ways, he refused it and instead continued to voice his opinions. When officials demanded he be sent back to England, Williams left Massachusetts on his own and in 1636, he and his followers established the settlement of Providence on Narragansett Bay, a colony that was well known for paying the Native Americans for their land.In 1644, Williams received a royal charter for Rhode Island. Under his leadership, Rhode Island became a safe haven for those who suffered from religious persecution, such as the Quakers.Anne Hutchinson also ran into problems because of her outspoken and unusual religious beliefs. Hutchinson supported the covenant of grace (or faith alone) as the key to salvation, instead of the Puritan emphasis on the covenant of good works. She also thought that God revealed himself to individuals without the clergy. Like Williams, she was a threat to the clergy's power.John Winthrop soon grew wary of Hutchinson and her fanaticism and warned her that women shouldn't immerse themselves in such deep theological matters. Soon after, Winthrop and John Cotton led the opposition to Hutchinson and charged that she was guilty of antinomian heresy. Brought to trial before the General Court in 1637, she was found guilty and expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony.Once expelled, Hutchinson was forced to join other dissenters in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.Both of these religious dissenters went to Rhode Island because of their radically different views of religion and society.
Anne Hutchinson and John Winthrop conflict?
Hutchinson was a women who spoke out in church about how the religious leaders were substituting their own judgment for that of God's. So they were judging people in a way that should only be judged by God. Winthrop was the one the brought her to trial for heresy and she was tested on her biblical knowledge, her knowledge far exceeded that of her questioners and she probably would have been aquitted had she not said that God had directly revealed himself to her (which protestants don't believe God does anymore). She was then banished and went to Rhode Island.
