Description
-
In these documents we are able to observe the punishable crimes for the people of New England. The crimes are mainly focused on maintaining the order and civility of life in the settlements. Due to the intertwining of Church and Civil law we can see how life was centered around faith in the colony. Punishable offenses could result in anything up to banishment or death.
