Trials of the Quakers in Massachusetts Bay Colony
The 17th century Massachusetts authorities imposed severe laws against Quakers, enforcing death and banishment. Executions occurred in 1659, notably Mary Dyer and others, until public outcry and royal intervention shifted policy. By 1665 the state revived harsher punishments for vagabond Quakers, later fading as tolerance grew and Quakers gained freedom to worship.
