people all over were getting blamed for being witches. people were brought to court for an accusation that they were a witch. even the priests were getting blamed for being a witch. mostly girls were getting blamed during this time because women were at a more likely chance to follow the devil. if you were blamed and found guilty they would hang you.

most old ladies were called out for being witches. the slaves were more prone to be called witches because they were not socialy in the society so they were an easy target. witches were people who signed their life away to the devil in his book. these people were often misread because they just accused them without reasoning but really they werent witchs. when they found out these people were witchs or just accusing them they were killed because they didnt want them passing it on to anyone else.

women were an easy target for getting blamed for being a witch. but they also did the blaming at one point. these girls would just go around pointing their finger and call people witches without reasoning and the people they got in trouble would be put on trial until further notice. this is totally absurd because they are putting inncoent peoples lives on the line because they dont like them or have a problem with them. the youngest girl to ever be accused was 4 years old.

there was a book that these witchs were in love with. this book would be written with names that people have put in signing their lifes away to him. this would mean according to them he owned them and had to do whatever he said to do without question. a couple cases these ladies said that in the book ws nothing, it was totally blank. its hard to believe they had a book for people to put their names into to show that they signed their lives away to the devil.
