In the 1600s Puritans liked everything simple which includes clothing, food, and decorations. However, puritans were very religious and had many different aspects of beliefs, they worshipped total depravity, predestination, limited atonement, and grace. Total depravity or in other words they believed some people were born a sinner based on there genes from ancestors. Predestination is another belief puritans had, which means eternity is chosen for you, you are either chosen to go to hell or heaven you have no say in what god has chosen and once your eternity is chosen you can not be saved. Puritans also believed that god died for those who were elect and who are going to heaven. Lastly another belief they believed in was receiving grace, they thought it was a gift from god. Once something
went wrong such as; destroying buildings, "illness",or wars anything that went wrong they blamed the devil for his doing. Satan was a person that afflicted witchcraft. If someone said another person did something wrong or assumed they were a witch the person they accused was sent to jail. People would manipulate others to say they were a witch and "get rid of them". Many farmers had feuds and turned on eachother, some farmers accused the other farmer was a witch, while that person went to jail the other farms bought there farm and became more wealthier. Those who were accused to being a witch was sent to trial and they had to strip down, people looked for "a third nipple" puritans believed people who had a third nipple is a witch and thats how they feed there demon babies. While the witch trials were going on people had a chance to live by owning up to being a witch but had to live with that name, others who did not own up to being a witch was sentence to death. Toward the end a total of nineteen men and women were hanged because they were a "witch", other stayed in jail for months.
