The Puritans were the first people to come to America and they wanted a simpler life away from England. Their religious beliefs included total depravity, predestination, limited atonement, grace, and the city on a hill theory. The belief that satan was alive created the witchcraft hysteria in Salem. The belief that witchcraft was real created a solution to all of the puritans problems. Anyone could be accused of witch craft and because of this 200 people were jailed with no evidence of witchcraft.
