in the 17th century Witches where treated very poorly , they where normally accused of being a old lady in the woods with either a black cat.
they would be hanged , burnt alive or they would be 'dunked' this is where they would tie them up and place them into a lake or river , if they floated they where classed a witch , but if they didn't they wouldn't be a witch , but either way , they would a die . 'Duh' .
what where named 'witches' where treated Very badly and didn't deserve to be treated that way.
