Massachusetts faced several religious issues, particularly during the 17th century when Puritanism dominated the colony. Tensions arose from the strict enforcement of religious conformity, leading to the persecution of dissenters like Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson, who advocated for religious freedom and separation of church and state. The Salem Witch Trials of 1692 also highlighted the dangers of religious fanaticism and societal fear. These conflicts ultimately contributed to a gradual shift towards more tolerant attitudes in the region.
