Anne Hutchinson was a women from Boston. She challenged the puritan clergy and was forced to go to Rhode Island along with her family after her sentence.

Anne Hutchinson’s boldness and friction to the traditional Puritan beliefs made her one of the most well-known women from the New England Colonies. Marilyn J. Westerkamp states that she has been portrayed in biographies “as a pioneer for civil and religious liberty, crusading against the strictures of Puritan society.” Though she posed a threat to the Puritans and their religion, Anne Hutchinson should not have been exiled from the colonies. She was wrongly exiled because America would later be built on the freedom of religion, because both men and women should be able to practice religion freely, and because there was no reasonable evidence supporting her charges and exile.

This is when she began flirting with the line of being an Antinomian. Antinomians were radical Puritans that believed that ministers were beginning to preach more from the “covenant of works” angle as opposed from the “covenant of grace” position. This was a very controversial outlook upon one’s political and religious leaders, considering a main ideal of the Puritans is that the “covenant of works” is absolutely wrong. Antinomians were a threat to the Puritan lifestyle of conformity because it created animosity amongst the members of the colony.

Harriet could have been free for the rest of her life not worrying about the southern states, but instead she faced the wrath of the Confederates by trying and succeeding in freeing other slaves. Harriet could have fallen unconscious anytime of the day while saving the slaves. Harriet should forever be known as a woman who freed over three hundred slaves but also as a person who would not give up to see what was right. Harriet Tubman will forever live in this world or another.

Anne wasn’t afraid to be different and stand up for something she believed in. At the time it may have just seemed like a minuscule thing, just some women saying something about her religious beliefs. But who would have known that something so small would have blossomed into a monumental thing. What if Anne Hutchinson didn’t stand up for her beliefs? Who knows where religion would be today in the 21st century. Her achievements are seen even today if everyday life. She contributed so much to religion overall. Today, we don’t have to worry about hiding our beliefs. We don’t have to worry about being arrested or going to trial because what we think isn’t the popular opinion. Because of Anne Hutchinson the world is a better place. Even though it may seem like she lost the battle, by being imprisoned in her home and being unfairly treated by her piers she actually won. She stood up for what she believed and took the consequences for her actions. And thanks to her we now have religious freedom that she worked so hard to get. Thanks to Anne women now have a role model to look up to, someone who was so brave for her time. Women can look up to Anne Hutchinson and think that they can be brave too. That they can do anything they put their minds too even if it might be something that has never been done before.

Quakerism was founded by George Fox around the time of the English Civil War (6142-1651), as did many other denominations of christianity. George Fox was annoyed and unsatisfied with the teaching of the Church Of England. He had a strong belief that “there is one, even, Christ Jesus, who can speak to thy condition” (as quoted). His belief became strong enough to convince him that one could have a direct experience with Jesus without the aid of the Church.
