The conflict is between religion and common sense. Religion said the girls were bewitched and telling the truth. Common sense they could be lying. In an age before they knew what the common cold was, there was no way they could figure out which was right easily.
i have no clue!
Back then people tried to kill people who they thought were witches. If the person was a witch she would save herself from dying. But I think that she would have done some thing like a spell to keep from dying.
EDIT:
The conflict, as I see it, was between science and religion. Religion said tha witchcraft was the cause of the affliction, but science would think there was some medicial and pyschological explanation.
There were several conflicts and compromises in the Salem Witchcraft Trials. One of the main conflicts was the acceptance of Spectral Evidence in the courts. Several people were convicted and hung based solely on this evidence. If somebody testified that they had seen somebody else's spirit (in Witch form..ghost-like. With a Spirit, a witch could supposedly torture somebody without even having to make physical contact with them in real life..they could send their spirit to do the work for them.) it would be believed that this person must be a witch since they had a spirit. The trials got so out of hand at one point that if even one person gave Spectral Evidence a person could be convicted based only on this one testimony that could never be physically proven. Many political figures warned Salem not to accept this evidence, but they continued to. A compromise in the Salem Witchcraft Trials was when Governor Phipps came back to Salem after he was away, and temporarily ended the trials and released the suspects from jail. The jury was biased, and he had suspended the trials until he could find a suitable jury. After he found one, the trials continued at a quick pace because they were no longer allowing Spectral Evidence and many of the suspected witches were quickly released.
The Salem Witch Trails is when these three girls start acting weird. They said that a man had help from the devil. They said many people were witches. They later found out that it might have been this stuff in the corn that they use for bread. Lots of people were killed. It is a true story.
EDIT:
First of all, that "stuff" is a fungus that affects wheat and rye.
Second, there is no proof that the fungus is what caused the supposde affliction. And I don't think 24 is a lot.
There was never any type of witchcraft in Salem it was the mold in peoples houses also mental illness like autism, schizophrenia people back then did not know how to treat any type of illness so they thought it was witchcraft.
because someone was blamed for being a witch even when it was part of their beliefs. and some people were against it, so they turned it into a big conflict.
There were two. The conflict between Salem Village and Salem Town and the conflict between reason and religion.
