Salem Village was divided along religio-political lines as well as economic lines. Samuel Parris was a former merchant was the head of a church that separated from the main Salem church. It included only one major group led by the Putnam family. The main church included prosperous merchants and most of the village. Most of the accused witches were members of the main church as well as were from the upper merchant class.
