This episode covers the story of the two most famous rebels in the early American colonies: Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson. But they weren’t the only ones. Several, far less known, people were continuously challenging the existing power structure. There is a thread that is beginning to materialize that will only grow as we move forward through history.
Along with that, this episode covers the growing call for religious tolerance in a world of increasing persecution. Carrying forward the ideas from previous episodes, the desire for liberty and democracy is bubbling under the surface in the English colonies. So grab your treatises and let’s fill in those missing pages…
