She felt it was important for everyone to have their own opinions and beliefs and they didn't have to succumb to tee ridiculous rules of the Puritans. I believe the Puritans were ignorant to the fact that people came from all different backgroungs and it wasn't fair for them to judge others. They weren't necessarily wrong for following their own beliefs, but they didn't have to push those beliefs upon people.<BR/><BR/>NaSasha Harrell<BR/>Hour 9Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18729359.post-1160174623464924812006-10-06T15:43:00.000-07:002006-10-06T15:43:00.000-07:00nadreen hr 2i think that the puritans were straigh...nadreen hr 2<BR/><BR/>i think that the puritans were straight up hypocrites. the only reason they came to the us was for religious freedom. how could you want freedom for yourself and not anyone else. anne was one of the few puritans who were true. i respect her being courageous enough to be the first to stand up against those puritans and say something true. i think that the only way america was influenced by the puritans is by doing the exact opposite of what those puritans did. <BR/>another thing: why would anyone respect those people anyways, all they did was kill indians and they know dang well that god didn't say you can kill anyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18729359.post-1160019129390897002006-10-04T20:32:00.000-07:002006-10-04T20:32:00.000-07:00I think Anne Hutchinson's rebellion against the Pu...I think Anne Hutchinson's rebellion against the Puritans greatly affected the way our country is governed today.

All people did not believe in what they believed in. That was selfish in a way in my opinion. Ann Hutchinsoon was a woman that all women need to admire. She did not believe in what everyone else did. She was a "outcast" and she excepted that fact with open arms. She knew what she believed in and she never gave that up on it. She showed courage and mental toughness during this time. Ann Hutchinson did the unthinkable and stood up against the puritan religion, even though she was banished for it. She believed that you didnt need a bible to worship god and at the time that idea was unexceptable In my opinion the banishment was worth it. She should be honored more for what she did.

Holding strong roles and being disciplined and such. But I find the Puritans (even though I may be a descendant) repulsive. They lived harsh lives, killed each other, banished each other, and such for a idea outside of their norm. They seem controling, greedy, and overall a unpleasent group to be associated with. Yes, they did influence the Americas and yes they did take a couple steps foward, but the way I see it their values and morals are wrong and demanding, sending the socail aspect of america back two steps. <BR/>Now to the second part...<BR/>Ann Hutchinson influenced america by going out of the Puritans box, and representing her ideas out in the open. I find her to be a strong woman, who could not have been born at a better time.<BR/>Someone needed to show the Puritans they are not the world, and that not EVERYONE follows them and their beliefs... so I guess she influenced the world by showing others you can be different, and you can say what you need to say, even though people may disagree with you. <BR/>So yea...<BR/>: )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18729359.post-1159837130460748422006-10-02T17:58:00.000-07:002006-10-02T17:58:00.000-07:00Jennifer Yang Hour 9Ann Hutchinson was a couragero...Jennifer Yang Hour 9<BR/>Ann Hutchinson was a couragerous woman that did many great things.

It's rather sad how Anne was ridiculed and sent to another country just because the crown wouldn't accept her and others critisism. Anne faced in england the problem that there wasn't really any real "religious freedom" to speak of in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, especially for an educated English woman such as herself. It seems like the Crowns way of getting rid of rift-raft is by either cutting of the head of the problem, or by convicting offenders and sending them to far away lands. Isn't that how Australia was started?

Even today you can see the effects of both. To start, the Puritans liked fighting for themselves... as long as they got what they wanted every thing else was honkey dory. That is still amazingly true today. As long as your happy, why care about anyone else? Also Ann Hutchinson spoke out about her rights and the rights of others. The major aspect still seen today is the female being bold and standing up and fighting for what is right. If someone doesn't get there way, they don't just drop it they continue to fight until something is done about it. Also there are some people today who don't just stop at themselves but try to make it fair and equal for everyone. Because of Ann Hutchinson's bravery and the Puritans semi selfish wants, the Americas today have lots of freedom in what we worship and believe. If it weren't for them and some others, who knows what we would all be worshiping today?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18729359.post-1159798258679783682006-10-02T07:10:00.000-07:002006-10-02T07:10:00.000-07:00Kayla Laurila Hour 9Ann Hutchinson was definetely ...Kayla Laurila Hour 9<BR/>Ann Hutchinson was definetely a women of great courage and determination.

Anne Hutchinson stood up for her beliefs and the beliefs of others. The Puritans just stood up for THEIR beliefs. Both Anne Hutchinson and the Puritans have influenced America's culture today in many ways. Today in America, we have just what the Puritans and Anne Hutchinson were, opposites. We always have some sort of one side versus another side belief system. We have people like Anne Hutchinson who believe you should stand up for your rights, but also respect other people's beliefs. We also have people like the Puritans who are one sided and believe that they are right and everyone else is wrong.

All them believe in what they believe in and they fought through it by government. How hard it was for them, they still kept going foward on what they believe. With the banish of Ann Hutchinson, she shows that women can be minister too, and they not only the Puritans are right, but she also has a calling from God telling her what to do. With her influences and the Puritan, we can see that in the United State we have many religion that have other point of view in looking as God. And that kind of things goes along with the Protestant.

The Puritans came up with a lot of practices like whipping for adultery, and we, as a country, "frown on" adulators. The Puritans also refused to see alcohol as a sinful drink and didn't abstain from it. Because of it, even though alcohol is the most dangerous drug out here, people still delight themselves in it. <BR/><I>Another big influence in our society is Anne Hutchinson. She was brave, bold, and stood out. She spoke out against that particular religion and was banished for it. Now in America, we have a separation between church and states and the Constitution prohibits the government from imposing their religion on anybody. This goes to show how much impact the Puritans had on today's society even though many people see them as the plain pilgrims who lived very simplistic lives.</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18729359.post-1159770357983087342006-10-01T23:25:00.000-07:002006-10-01T23:25:00.000-07:00- Xiaohoa Michelle ChingHour 6/7- Xiaohoa Michelle Ching<BR/>Hour 6/7xiaohoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305789631001278584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18729359.post-1159770164189662842006-10-01T23:22:00.000-07:002006-10-01T23:22:00.000-07:00Our society status quo can credit much of it's str...Our society status quo can credit much of it's structures and ideals to the 'founding members' of the United States, the Puritans. Puritanism introduced to the Americas, the importance of religion and community. Several of their social constructs came from the bible, [ if not all, "they used it like a text book" ] imposing upon all puritans the strict morals and devout faith. Their ideas of marriage and open communities, have remained an integral part of our culture in the states. (Even if divorce has become commonplace and people are afraid of their neighbors..). Despite the incredible puritan strength and dedication to their pious beliefs ( God was the driving force, and the bible was the guide book for life, and through their elect ministers, visible saints, and their relationships to the powers above, they would not suffer eternal damnation ) -their ways were not flawless. Ann Hutchinson understood this, and though she did not oppose the Puritan ideology completely, she had ideas of her own. For a women in a Puritan society they were incredibly bold ideas. She herself spoke of religious freedom, which she craved, and the rights to her own thoughts and ideas, which we are all entitled to now. Her [then] radical ideas were the first of their kind, and allowed for standards, later in our history, to be raised. Issues such as women's rights, and religious freedom (neither of which existed in Puritan societies) were challenged by Ann Hutchinson--she is entitled to a lot of respect for that, and thanks as well. Both the Puritans and Ann Hutchinson, even with opposing ideals, were integral in the shaping of today's culture.xiaohoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305789631001278584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18729359.post-1159764823265705442006-10-01T21:53:00.000-07:002006-10-01T21:53:00.000-07:00Jingya Chen Hour 6-7I think Puritanism and Ann Hut...Jingya Chen Hour 6-7<BR/>I think Puritanism and Ann Hutchinson's experience planted a seed of religious freedom in United States culture. Ann Hutchinsen came to America with a hope of find a place where she can worship freely,which is the basic idea of religious freedom, But the Bay colony'leaders couldn't let her hope become reality, becuase Hutchinsen's idea was in direct contradiction with the rulers believe. She thinks that people could reach God without the teaching of ministers or bible. Under the condition of Political control bonds with Church, religion freedom was a threat to rulers' power. And it is Ann Hutchinsen who took this challenge to against the authority for tolerant in religion. sadly she was accused of sedition and banished, but some of her ideas were lasted and became part of American culture, that clearly showed in American Constitution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18729359.post-1159764744692232462006-10-01T21:52:00.000-07:002006-10-01T21:52:00.000-07:00Christopher Moss hour 6-7Ann Hutchinson was a wome...Christopher Moss hour 6-7<BR/><BR/>Ann Hutchinson was a women that had great ideas.Hutchinson knew how to speak her ideas out in a postive way.
