The town was split between Salem Village, which consisted of poor farmers, and Salem Town, which were merchants that prospered in the new economy. Many believe though, that if you prospered in the new economy it questioned your Puritan faith.
Once Parris became the new minister of Salem, he claimed the new economy was work of the devil.
