The reason these people were being killed is because they were all accused of being witches. No one really knew whether or not they were really witches but mostly jealous women would accuse people. ]]> 2016-08-24 22:18:45 UTC https://padlet.com/21fulkersonsl/8yipyqkwzfv0/wish/119711649 What are the major amount of accused and the accusers? 21chongkr https://padlet.com/21fulkersonsl/8yipyqkwzfv0/wish/119711726 In Document B, there is a chart of the accused and the accusers that show what their gender, age, and marital status is.

In Document B,  many of the accused were married and the accusers were single. The single women may have been jealous of the married women and accused them out of jealousy. Another reason why jealousy was a part in all the hysteria was because of the poor and rich. The people in the eastern half of Salem became wealthy while the western half farmed poor land. The poor may have tried to blame the rich of being a witch. Jealousy may have been a major reason for the cause of hysteria. ]]> 2016-08-25 21:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/21fulkersonsl/8yipyqkwzfv0/wish/119941077 Were all of the accusers truthful? 21chongkr https://padlet.com/21fulkersonsl/8yipyqkwzfv0/wish/119941616 On Document D, there is a paragraph written by a 19th century historian, Charles Upham.
