Puritans settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1620. They dressed in black and white, living very simple lives. The Puritans built their beliefs off of John Calvin, simplifying the Bible and everyone's lives. Puritans believed that the devil was among them turning people into witches or wizards. If you were accused to be a witch or wizard you were put on trial leading to years of pain or death. other Puritans would fake "curses" set upon them just to make someone that has been accused more believable to be a witch or wizard. If you were a witch or wizard you would be either marked or killed, most of the time being hanged. My thoughts on the Salem Witch Hunts are in disbelief, it is hard to believe that people could live such simple lives like this and kill innocent people.
