Religion in 17th Century Massachusetts: Salem Witch Trials Daily

Hosts Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack examine religion in 17th century Massachusetts. What religions were practiced in Massachusetts? Was it only Puritanism? In this video, we talk about how Massachusetts refused to tolerate non-puritan faiths until forced by kings to allow people to worship as they pleased, as long as they were Protestant Christians.
