Salem Witch Trials

Many of the people executed at Salem as witches did have childred. Some were also grandparents and great-grandparents.

In general, those accused as witches were just normal, middle-aged people and normal middle-aged people back then had children and possibly grandchildren.

20-33. They hung Nineteen people, crushed one under heavy stones and as many as thirteen people may have died in prison.

The last trial was in may of 1693.

it changed lives forever before it happened people lived in fear of it after it happened people were happier and felt free to travel

EDIT:

The above sounds more like England and World War II.

Life after the Trials had its own struggles. The Puritans were more scared than ever. In their minds, the devil had proven he could invade and interrupt peace and calm thinking in Salem and they had to live with the guilt of allowing ninteen innocent people to be hanged. For everyone who had been imprisoned, they had to begin th elong struggle to regain property confiscated after their arrest and relatives of the executed had to fight for their deceased relatives' estate. Life was harder for the entire population of Salem and it didn't help that they had been basically ignoring their fields, which meant less food and less money for the farming part of the community.

Bridget Bishop was married three times her first two husband Goodman Wassblebee and Thomas Oliver died and her third husband Edward Bishop accused her of being a witch

It really didn't. It showed what happens when something messes up that heirarchy. Had the religious and social leaders kept control over accusations and stuck to their gut and learning instead of people on the lowest rung of society, barely educated farm girls who basically went crazy, there would have been less convictions.

because Abigal didnt like the fact that John had turned her away so she got him in trouble

The Trials were conducted in the towns of Salem Village, Salem Town, Andover, and Ipswich. The accused were said to be Witches from the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Middlesex, in Massachusetts, New England.

Both tried to get rid of people they thought of as bad for society. Salem focused on witches, while th Inquisition dealt with supposed heretics and Jews. One big difference between the two was that in Salem, the accusations ccame from girls believed to bewitched and the accusations in the Inquisistion came from completely normal people and the government. The second large difference is the death tolls. Salem's was 24 and the Inquisition number in the tens of hundreds. The third is execution. It was hanging in Salem and burning in the Inquisition.

That's not really a question, but it was obviously in 1690, and The story started off with lady's dancing in the forest, and then people believing they are witches, and then they go and start accusing people that who they have a grudge against, such as Abagail Williams, accused John Proctor's wife that she was a witch so that she could have the chance to have another affair with John Proctor. Than the hole town is scared of being a witch and the only way to get out of the accusations was to accuse other people of being a witch or admitting it. Hope this helped.

Puritans weren't the kind of people who liked holidays... so none.

Care to put a comment on the disscussion page telling Answer.com which fictional account of the Salem trials you read? No boys laughed at how little sense the trials made. Only learned men and women believed the trials to be absurd.

Witchcraft is a part of Pagisum.this religion celebrates more than one God.like the sun God.they don't celebrate our God.

We don't know for certain. He wrote about the theory that the girls were conscious of what they were doing and were lying. However, that was the theory that made the best parallel to the Red Scare, which he was trying to allude to. So, He could have believed a different theory but wrote about the one that worked for what he wanted to do or he could have believed the one he used in his book.

Yes, an individual can be too motivated. It can negatively affect their personality and perception. They may feel that they have to get things done no matter the cots and they may mistreat people or make poor decisions to accomplish that. Many of them also become arrogant and overconfident.

There's 15 books in the series

No witches were ever burned at Salem. In Puritan society, witchcraft was a felony and punishable by hanging.

During the Salem Witch Trials, 19 people suffered that fate.

Strengths: It is a generally good comparison and the author could say it was just a novel on the Salem crisis and not an attack on a senator

Weakness: the amount of incorrect information in the book pollutes the knowledge pool on the subject.

Salem Village was divided along religio-political lines as well as economic lines. Samuel Parris was a former merchant was the head of a church that separated from the main Salem church. It included only one major group led by the Putnam family. The main church included prosperous merchants and most of the village. Most of the accused witches were members of the main church as well as were from the upper merchant class.

There was no Samuel Parrish in Salem during the witch panic.

However, if there's a typo and you were asking about Samuel Parris...

Parris was the reverand of the church in Salem Village and the father and uncle respectively of the first to of the afflicted. He played up the bewitchment in the early stages, some believe, to keep the public's mind off how much they wanted to fire him. As the trials progressed, he continued to support the trials.
