Roots of Zoar, Part Two
Abstract
Military action, arrests at the fortress and in penitentiariesThe Separatists now simply ignored the threats and punishments of the authorities.The ringleaders were in prison yet their colleagues living in Rottenacker remained unbowed.Despite prohibitions, they continued to hold their assemblies.Even the women behaved radically.When Judith Huber, wife of Johannes Huber, appeared before the Governor, for example, she addressed him as "du."This led to her being slapped in the face, after which she addressed the Governor as she was expected to do.
