What must it have been like to stand beneath the gallows and watch a loved one make the ultimate sacrifice for something you do not fully understand?Mary Dyer's sacrifice helped pave the way for our first amendment rights of the freedom of religion and speech and pointed out the need for the separation of church and state.
