There were no actual witches in Salem during the trials. Witchcraft was seem as wrong because they thought it was the work of the devil. They thought witches killed crops, sunk ships and murdered people. That's what "witch" meant to the people in Salem. Now, it refers to Wiccans, pagans and the like. Hope that helps. Your question was very hard to understand.

Why women accused other women in Salem witch trials?

Often women accused their enemies or people with whom they did not get along of being witches. Often those enemies were women. EDIT: While the above is true, the Salem Trials differ in the fact that we don't know what caused the girls to make the accusations. We don't know if they did in consciously or were under the influence or a physical or mental ailment. That said, we don't know why so many women were accused. It must also be said that men were accused in Salem as well.


What did rebbeca do to get on the list of the Salem witch trials?

It depends on which theory of what caused the afllictions you believe. If it is one of the ones that argue that the girls were concious of what they were doing, it might be because Ann Putnam's family had had land disputes with Rebbeca Nurse. If it is one that something caused them to do it without knowing they were wrong, she did absolutly nothing.
