Access the discussion packet here: Disc 01 – Anne Hutchinson.pdf
You will find some contextual information in the packet and the transcripts for Anne Hutchinson’s trial. The trial transcripts have been updated for modern English, but the text still reads like Old English. Try not to get bogged down in the small details of the language and instead read for understanding. If you don’t understand something right away, that’s okay! Just keep reading and strive to get the main idea of what’s happening.
Remember, you need to answer at least two of the following questions, and then reply to at least three of your classmates responses. For more information, revisit the “Discussion Information” module.
Here are the questions:
1) How did the trial of Anne Hutchinson illustrate the influence of religion in the Massachusetts Bay Colony? 3) How did Anne “trouble the peace?” How did she become so popular and why was she seen as a threat?
