Abigail, the daughter of the family, was known for being a wild and disrespectful young girl. Being the first to be arrested, she was a witness against both of her parents and eventually went to accuse and convict other witches to save her own life. nvriens https://padlet.com/nvriens/293e6vz4bc1n/wish/187618872 2017-09-14 15:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nvriens/293e6vz4bc1n/wish/187618872 A "judge"- Hathorne, a very religious man, won a position as justice of the peace and county judge because of his political skills. Hathorne served on a committee to find a replacement for Salem minister George Burroughs in 1686, and eventually sentenced him to death, as he believed the devil could use witches to undermine the purpose of the church and do harm to people. nvriens https://padlet.com/nvriens/293e6vz4bc1n/wish/187621621 2017-09-14 15:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nvriens/293e6vz4bc1n/wish/187621621 nvriens https://padlet.com/nvriens/293e6vz4bc1n/wish/187622986 2017-09-14 15:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nvriens/293e6vz4bc1n/wish/187622986 An "Accuser"- Ann and Abigail became the most popular and youngest accusers. Of the afflicted and the accusers, they were all related to the Putnam family somehow. Later on, Ann gave a public apology for her participation in these trials. nvriens https://padlet.com/nvriens/293e6vz4bc1n/wish/187626313 2017-09-14 15:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nvriens/293e6vz4bc1n/wish/187626313 nvriens https://padlet.com/nvriens/293e6vz4bc1n/wish/187628111 2017-09-14 15:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nvriens/293e6vz4bc1n/wish/187628111 nvriens https://padlet.com/nvriens/293e6vz4bc1n/wish/187629401 2017-09-14 15:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nvriens/293e6vz4bc1n/wish/187629401
