She didn't speak of that for many years though. Anne Hutchingson had held many gatherings had her home in Rhode Island so she could preach her believes (keep them on a holding sounds at her home is against the law,) but Hutchingson didn't care, she went on expressing her beliefs anyway and anywhere she could and people always came to listen to her. That is until one day in 1638 she was caught at home preaching and was put on trial. The trial was called "The Trial of Ann Hutchingson." The trial was held in front of the colonists of Rhode Island and went on for over 10 days. The court found her or to be done trustworthy and evil (they called her evil because she stated that she had spoken to god directly) to people that was illegal and they kicked and Hutchingson out of Rhode Island in 1639.
