DBQ SAMPLE THESIS STATEMENTS

The Salem Witch Trials of 1692 were a result of complex social, political, and religious factors. Key influences included the struggle for power among local factions, a shift in women's roles, and widespread religious uncertainty. The trials reflected underlying economic tensions, particularly related to land ownership and the decline of traditional church authority. Hysteria erupted in a climate of fear driven by social imbalances, especially among the younger generation, compounded by competing economic interests and changing religious beliefs that fueled this tragic chapter in American history.
