Who is hiram wesley?

Hiram Wesley lived from 1881 until 1966. Wesley is best known for being an Imperial Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan from late 1922 until 1939.


What were the Klans objectives and why were they significant during Reconstruction.?

The Ku Klux Klan was originally a social fraternity, organized by Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, the first Grand Wizard of the Empire, in 1867. The purpose of the KKK soon developed into a paramilitary force used to oppose the Republican governments set up in the old Confederate States and used to stop Freedmen (ex-slaves) from voting, attempting to register to vote, and from trying to hold elective offices in the southern states. When the KKK became too violent, Forrest ordered it disbanded, but the violent element in the KKK continued, until the government passed the Force Acts and the Klan was extinguished in 1872.


How many people that used witchcraft were put to death at Salem?

Tituba - Reverend Parris' West Indian slave who entertained the girls in Parris' kitchen with stories of her native Caribbean. Tituba and the girls 'in the kitchen are generally credited with having started the hysteria. Tituba was among the first accused of witchcraft. She confessed and was imprisoned. Reverend Parris - minister of Salem Village. Tituba was his slave, and it was in his kitchen where the girls gathered. William Good - husband of Sarah. He testifies against her describing her as "an enemy to all that is good". She denounces him as a wizard. Dorcas Good - four year old daughter of Sarah. She also testifies against her mother claiming that her mother has three "familiars" - two yellow birds and one black. Sarah Osborne - along with Sarah Good and Tituba the first to be accused of witchcraft. During her trail, Sarah Good accuses Osborne of being a witch. Old and infirm to begin with, Osborne dies while imprisoned. Giles Corey - accused of witchcraft, he was pressed to death while refusing to enter a plea. By refusing to enter a plea he preserved his estate for his sons Judge Hathorne - one of the presiding judges of the witchcraft trials and an ancestor of Salem's famous author Nathaniel Hawthorne. Sarah Good was the daughter of a wealthy Wenham innkeeper, but her life had been a long downhill slide since her father's suicide from drowning. Her mother had quickly remarried in order to block the children's inheritance rights. Sarah married a landless man who hired himself out as a laborer. But even with a chronic labor shortage in the colony, individuals hesitated hiring her husband because that would mean taking Sarah into the household, and she was considered shrewish, idle, and slovenly. 

With matted grey hair and a leathered, lined face, Sarah Good looked seventy years old even though she was still of child bearing age. (In fact she was pregnant at the time of her arrest.) With her clay pipe, Sarah Good even looked the part of a witch. She didn't attend church, and recently she had been begging door-to-door and making a general nuisance of herself. 

Along with Tituba and Sarah Osburne, Sarah Good was among the first three women named as witches. All three were arrested on February 29th, 1692. A strong woman, Sarah nearly overpowered the sheriff who came to arrest her. During the initial questioning of the three women, Good accused Sarah Osburne of being a witch, and Tituba confessed to witchcraft. Tituba was released while Good and Osburne were sent to jail. Osburne, who was already ill, died in prison. Good's newborn child also died in prison. Good was joined in prison by her four year old daughter, Dorcas - even though Dorcas had testified against her mother. Dorcas was to remain mentally impaired for the rest of her life as a result of her imprisonment. Even Sarah Good's husband testified against her. 

On June 29th, along with five other women, Sarah Good was tried and convicted of witchcraft. She was hanged on Gallows hill on July l9th. Sarah Good remained defiant to the end. When Reverend Noyes urged her to confess and repent on the scaffold, she replied "I am no more witch than you are a wizard. If you take my life away, God will give you blood to drink." Years later when Reverend Noyes died of a hemorrhage in the mouth - in fact drinking his own blood - many in Salem remembered Sarah Good's curse. In fact Nathaniel Hawthorne, descendent of the hanging Judge Hathorne of the witch trials, borrowed this incident for the death of Judge Pyncheon in his famous novel, The House of the Seven Gables.
