The Witch Trails started when a salve was trying to entertain young girl by making up magic stories. They young puritan girls started to believe the magic stories and started to act crazy. In the imagine below the girls were saying that the innocent person they claimed was a witch. They would act crazy in the court room and mock the witch.

Puritans were a group of very religious people in the late 16th century. They wanted to move to America from England to start a country where god ruled. They were black and white cloths and did everything they could to impress god. They lived there life in fear that god would not except them and would go to hell. The puritans made America how it is today. They believed in total depravity that everyone was born a sinner.

First off the puritans had a strong belief in god and that if anything went wrong it was the devils fault. Then they thought Satan was alive and well and was walking the earth. They believed that a witch would become ill and from being affected with witchcraft. But during this time period a lot of people got sick from the new world and a lot of bad things were happening to them. Also they had a lot of foreign influence from Europe's problems with witches.

Predestination is that you get elect to be saved by god or you could be rejected but there was no way to tell. Because you never knew if you were chosen or not you put on an act and have anxiety plus very judgmental to who is saved and who is not. Most of the time they just faked it. This caused a lot of them to start to accuse each other and making them go crazy.

During the puritan time it was very boring. They were plain people who lives were based on god. Women were frowned upon and had a boring life. These puritans believed that the devil was walking among us and recruiting people. The puritans were already paranoid because they did not know who god has saved. Everything bad was because of witches and warlocks. So because of the paranoia the started to accused the people who they thought were witches. The people accused were mostly people who did not attend church, so it made them an easy target.

In these images it was the time of the puritans. In one a woman is being accused in court. Another is a girl being walked to the gallows.Then a woman being made fun of by the teenage girls in court. Then a girl being hanged at the gallows. My general thoughts on the crucible is that I think it portrays the real events very well.
