Puritans had originated in England and wanted to rid of Catholic residue in the church. King Charles had took a stance against this and ordered anyone who disagreed with the new church, to be killed. Many Puritans had been prosecuted and left in search of new land. Once landing in America, they began to settle with the little they had. The Puritans were responsible for the first colony to be established in Massachusetts.

This was a theory to have the Massachusetts colony to be reborn. The colony would be dealt scriptures and lived through God. The reform would make the education built around the writings of God and made people work harder. The government and church would become one in this theory. This is how Puritans wanted to live.

Puritans had strongly believed that the Devil was walking among them. They often feared that he was recruiting any of those around him, to participate in his work. Witches and warlocks were named those who worked for him and lived in the residency among others. Those that fell ill or acted anyway that was deemed strange, would be linked to the Devil working against them. This belief was strongly held in the community, leading up to the chaos in Salem.

During the witch hysteria in Salem, many people would accuse neighbors or friends of committing acts of witchcraft. Most were made out of anger or pettiness because of past situations between the two people. These allegations would be taken seriously by all residents and lead to a trial, contesting their innocence. Many who did not plead guilty, would be imprisoned or hung in a public setting. One man was crushed to death with stones as a punishment.
