#AnneHutchinson was expelled from the #Puritan #MassachusettsBayColony on #ThisDayInHistory in 1638. Her great 'crime' was preaching sermons, attracting a following, and teaching the Bible while 'unfortunately' being a woman. #Patriarchy and #misogyny are crimes against humanity.

The #MassachusettsBayColony on #ThisDayInHistory in 1636 showed that "defence" is often used for offence. It organized three #militia regiments against the #PequotIndians -- a nation against which they committed #genocide. The day is used as the founding of the US #NationalGuard.

First printed mention of #Harvard? Yup. At auction #americana @swanngalleries.bsky.social #MassachusettsBayColony
