According to Document D, "They soon...became intoxicated...by the terrible success of their imposture (acting), and were swept along by the frenzy they had occasioned..."  These girls accused many people of witchcraft and, the town was too ignorant to think otherwise. Everyone in Salem were getting so caught up in the idea of witches that they were getting paranoid and they started accusing everyone. Nowadays if someone accused someone else of witchcraft we would research and find out if they were telling the truth. Back then though, they were not educated enough so they believed everything they were told.]]> 2016-08-25 21:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119940931 How do you define a "witch?" 21buccolasr https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119942311 "Witch: a person who has been inhabited or taken over by the Devil," (Hook Exercise)]]> 2016-08-25 22:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119942311 What gender was the majority of the accusers? 21buccolasr https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119942569 In Document B, it clearly shows that younger women accused people of witchcraft the most. ]]> 2016-08-25 22:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119942569 Salem Witch Trial Hysteria 21burkgg https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119942600 The Salem Witch trial hysteria was a crazy time when people believed anything they were told.]]> 2016-08-25 22:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119942600 How many people were killed during the witchcraft trials in 1692? 21buccolasr https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119942730 Document A says that 20 people accused of being witches were hung to death and 4 died in jail. ]]> 2016-08-25 22:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119942730 21buccolasr https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119943186 Accused witches were hung to death.]]> 2016-08-25 22:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119943186 Who was killed during the Salem Witchcraft Trials? 21buccolasr https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119943370 "Bridget Bishop, Sarah Good, Elizabeth Howe, Susannah Martin, Rebecca Nurse, Sarah Wildes, George Burroughs,]]> 2016-08-25 22:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119943370 21buccolasr https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119962072 Salem Witch Trials Accused Ages]]> 2016-08-26 01:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119962072 Salem Witch Trials Accused Ages 21buccolasr https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119962714 2016-08-26 02:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119962714 What social classes were the accusers and the accused witches in? 21burkgg https://padlet.com/21burkgg/90ff7ww3kql7/wish/119973255 Document E states that most of the accusers included people from the lower class.
