John Winthrop |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| American colonist John Winthrop served as governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony (part of what is now the state of Massachusetts) for 12 terms. Along with the colony’s other Puritan leaders, Winthrop strongly opposed religious dissenters, as it was his belief that any dissent could subvert the effective governing of the colony. As a result, in 1637 Winthrop banished the religious reformer Anne Hutchinson from the colony. | ||||||
