How were the trials during the Salem Witch Trials different from trials today?
Obviously, the Salem Witch Trials tried a very different crime. But, other than that, the Salem Trials were very much like a normal civil trial today.
What happened in the Salem witch trials?
Off the top of my head... When prominent people in the Salem community started being accused by those vicious little girls they sort of petered out. Wikipeadia has a good entry under "Salem Witch Trials" if you want more detail.
What is the setting of the Salem witch trials?
The Salem Witch Trials is NOT a title for a book. It is the name that describes a witch hysteria, a witch hunt and witch trials that occurred in 1692 in Salem Massachusetts and other towns in Essex County.
What was the test the community had to face in The Crucible by Arthur Miller?
The residents of Salem had to decide if they were going to go along with the hysteria that surrounded the Salem Witch Trials. In other words, the questions is would a person lie and say he was a witch in order to avoid being hanged. Would that same person claim to have seen other people with the devil? If a person lied, claimed to be a witch, and indicted others, then his fate was left up to God, not the judges. People who told the truth, denied association with the Devil, and refused to give names to the Court could be condemned as witches and hanged.
How did the Salem trial started?
The Salem Trail started when people gave other people that lived in the village an odd/ strange look and decided to claim them as a witch. EDIT: The Salem Witch panic, that lead to the trials, began when girls in Salem began having so-called "fits." The best comparision I can make is to epilepsy. The people of the day blamed witches and asked the girls for names. The afflciction spread and many were accused. 19 ended up convicted and hanged. Today, we do not know for sure what cause the affliction, except that it wasn't witchcraft.
Are the Salem Witch Trials related to Halloween?
No. The Salem Witch Trials happened in the summer of 1692. Along with all other Witch trial in the Colonial Era none of them were related to Halloween.
What if the Salem witch trials did not happen?
Most likely Salem would have kept up with the other ports and would have remained important for trade with the other colonies and countries because it hadn't been so caught up for over a year, spending all that money on trials and making people ignore work.
Were there similarities between the Salem witch trials and Nazi antisemitism?
Not particularly. The Salem Witch Trials were persecuting so-called witches, and Nazi anti-Semitism was persecuting Jews. They both made the persecuted people end up in smoke, but other than that, I can't think of anything.
The witch trials took place where?
Although there where many witch trials troughout history, perhaps the most famous one took place in Salem, Massachusets. EDIT: Other witch trials took place in Connecticutt, England, Scotland, Germany and France.
