Salem Witch Trials

Salem Witch Trials

			Causes of The Salem Witch Trials

When two small girls, Abagail Williams and Betty Parris, became sick in 1692, their

strange behavior consisting of convulsions, body positions, and outbursts of gibberish left

everyone around them in confusion and awe.  Soon, other girls also began to exhibit the same

symptoms. Local doctors saw only one cause- the activity of Satan through witchcraft.   That

thinking stirred life in a mission that took 25 lives upon the infamous Gallows Hill, occupied

prisons with countless innocent people, and created unamendable chaos in the heart of a

community in Massachusetts called Salem. But was that the only contestant behind the causes

the Salem witch trials of 1692? Three hundred years later, we are still asking this question.  The

answer however is complex and blurred, being difficult to answer due to numerous events and

stages that aided to influence the trials. Some major points that commenced and pursued the trials

were those concerning the town's politics, religion, familys, economy, and the views, beliefs and

fears of the Puritan people in their dealings with the investigations and trials.  How valid was

their influence on accusationsof fellow townfolk in the art of witchcraft?
