The political relationship between the Putnam and Nurse families is that the Nurse family is good, and the Putnam family is bad. As in the Nurse family has good values and is very well respected while the Putnam family is greedy and jealous. For example, Mrs. Putnam's jealousy of Rebecca Nurse leads her to accuse Rebecca of being a witch. Another example is how Mr. Putnam begins accusing his neighbors of witchcraft just to obtain their land after they hang.

I assume you're talking about Rebecca Nurse. She was accused of spiritually murdering seven children of her husband's neighbor and enemy, Mrs. Putnam, all of whom died suddenly after birth. The Putnams had a land dispute with Rebecca's husband. See literary references: "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller and "A Break with Charity" (I forget author's name.)
1. a cousin of Mr. Putnam lost the priesthood because of the Nurse faction 2. a land dispute between the Putnam's and the Nurses 3. Mrs. Putnam's lose of 7 babies at childbirth with Rebecca Nurse
Her revenge is based upon how Rebecca Nurse delivered all eight of her children, and only one survived. Mrs. Putnam thinks that Goody Nurse is a witch and killed the children on purpose.
Goody Putnam lost several babies shortly after birth and blames Rebecca Nurse (out of jealousy of her large family) accusing her of witch craft.
because her husband thomas has been accused of taking land from the deceases and Abigail feels she has unfinished business with the putnams
It wasn't Abigail that accused them of witchcraft. It was Tituba. She accused Goody Goody and Goody Osburn of witchcraft because she's getting pressured of what they were asking her so she told them what they wanted to hear and Mrs. Putnam said that she was sure that someone was killing her babies so Tituba mentioned Goody Good and Goody Osburn because they became a midwife to Mrs. Putnam three times already.
