  4. Salem Witch Trials4.3

  5. Essential Question • What caused the Salem Witch Trials and what can we do to prevent a “witch hunt” from occurring today?

  6. Salem, Massachusetts • A Puritan town, with religion at the center all aspects of society/daily life • During this time period, it was believed that one could make an arrangement with the devil for evil powers a.k.a. witchcraft • Unexplainable sicknesses or behavior were also blamed on the devil

  7. The beginning Two young girls, Betty Parris, 9, and Abigail Williams, 11, began to have uncontrollable “fits” The girls were said scream obscenities, go into seizures, and trancelike states. Doctors could not find any causes of these actions so the townspeople decided they must have been bewitched

  8. When people came to examine the girls, they were very convincing The girls rolled about in agony, screamed in pain, and claimed to see one another afflicted by specters invisible to the examiners. Pinch marks and bruises on their bodies seemed to confirm their stories. Many of those who came to see the examinations were persuaded.

  9. The girls eventually “confessed” that a slave named Tituba was the witch that had bewitched them, with the help of two local women. Under intense pressure, Titubaadmitted to having dealings with the devil and also said there were other witches in the area who wanted to destroy the community

  10. Witch Hysteria Over the coming weeks, community members started accusing their neighbors of being witches 19 people were hanged after being accused of being witches 1 person was pressed to death with large rocks Over 140 total people were accused of being witches

  14. Consequences By the time the hysteria had spent itself, 24 people had died. Nineteen were hanged on Gallows Hill in Salem Town, but some died in prison. Giles Corey at first pleaded not guilty to charges of witchcraft, but subsequently refused to stand trial. This refusal meant he could not be convicted legally. However, his examiners chose to subject him to interrogation by the placing of stone weights on his body. He survived this brutal torture for two days before dying.

  17. How could it spread so easily? There were no definite signs of being a witch, since they are not real Symptoms of being a witch can be anything unusual or different It could be difficult to prove your innocence Since people were looking for witches, that is what they found

  18. Why would people accuse their neighbors Jealousy or envy Dislike or past grudges To keep the focus off themselves Teenage boredom “Mean girls syndrome”

  19. Why might the girls lie Some historians believe that the girls were acting out their anger against parents. Other historians find that the girls were ill in some way or subject to hallucinations. Another group of scholars believes the girls came to love the attention and power that the accusations gave them.
