Anne Hutchinson thought that the distinction between sinner and saint should not be based on church attendance or moral behavior, as it was at the time. Instead, she believed that it should be determined by the inner state of grace. Because she leading discussions of religious issues and spreading her ideas, she was looked down upon by the clergy. However, the main reason for her banishment from the Massachusetts bay colony was her gender. The male clergy were not pleased that a woman was spreading religious ideas contrasting theirs.

Anne Hutchinson settled in what is now Westchester, and many of her followers became Quakers.
