How many warlocks where killed in the Salem witch trials?
NONE! No one was actually a witch in the Salem trials. However, 6 men were executed. And I have to make the point that in Puritan lore, a male witch is a wizard, not a warlock.
How did the people get killed during the Salem witch trials?
They were hanged if they were convicted. Giles Corey was pressed to death with stones in order to force him to make a plea in court.
What was the method of execution for convicted witches in the Salem witch trials?
the accusers would strip the man or woman and observe their body, looking for any unusual mole or freckle. This could be enough to make you a witch. Also, they would strip the man or woman, tie them up, and throw them in a body of water. If you sank, you weren't a witch, if you floated you were a witch. Either way, you were doomed. EDIT: Great explanation. It would be perfect if the question was about European witch hunts and witch tests. During the Salem Witch Trials, the convicted "witches" were hanged.
What is one difference between the real Salem witch trials and the story in Aurhur Miller's crucible?
There are very many, not just one. Miller used alot of material that had little or no evidence to support it. He also had to tell a story meaning much of it was fabricated. To make this short: If you need to research the Salem Witch Trials for something, THE CRUCIBLE IS NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE FOR INFORMATION.
Why Miller use the Salem witch Trials to convey message about the McCarthy trials?
They are similiar enough to make the comparison easy, but they are also different enough that Miller couldn't get in trouble for writing against a senator who was against communism.
How many years did it take for the 1200 people to be executed during the Salem witch trials?
Pardon my outrageuos laughter. Only 19 people were convicted and executed during the Salem witch panic, 20 if you count Giles Corey being pressed to death for refusing to make a plea in court. It took just under a year for all the trials and the governor's proclamation that ended the trials and pardoned all the remaining accused to happen.
What were the differences from the Salem witch trials to the Holocaust?
differencesSalem witch trials were accused for being witches and the Jews involving the holocaust were accused for their religion. EDIT:In Salem, the trials were caused by pure hysteria and panic and were legal precedings. The Holocaust was genocide and completely illegal everywhere but Nazi Germany.I always have to make this point when comparing the two: During the Holocaust, people were killed for what they were and at Salem, that was in no way the case.
Why did Arthur miller choose to write a novel about a692 and the Salem witch trials?
They are easy to compare to McCarthyism and Miller was trying to make a point about McCarthyism. The Trials are also different enough that he could not get in trouble for writing about them to write about a senator.
The connections between Salem witch hunt and the KKK?
There are none and to make my point, I'll even type it in the stereotypical accent of my state. Theah ahre none. The KKK came into existance two hundred years after the trials ended. The perseuction of the witch trials was caused by religious panic, not racism.
