This shows the fear that many people had because of the many killings that took place.

The story tells how the afflicted children (actors) created false stories of people and their supposed witchcraft. This lead to the obsession of lying about innocent people.

The more wealthy people in the east, and the poorer in the west. In document E. it showed us that most of the accusers were in the poor side of the state and most of the accused were in the rich side. This tells us that the poor people could be angry and or jealous of the wealthy which could have caused this hysteria.]]> 2016-08-25 21:58:54 UTC https://padlet.com/21sangeraj/f12gxhxn3odj/wish/119942019 21sangeraj https://padlet.com/21sangeraj/f12gxhxn3odj/wish/119942918 2016-08-25 22:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/21sangeraj/f12gxhxn3odj/wish/119942918 21sandhusi https://padlet.com/21sangeraj/f12gxhxn3odj/wish/119942956 2016-08-25 22:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/21sangeraj/f12gxhxn3odj/wish/119942956 21sandhusi https://padlet.com/21sangeraj/f12gxhxn3odj/wish/119943085 2016-08-25 22:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/21sangeraj/f12gxhxn3odj/wish/119943085 21sangeraj https://padlet.com/21sangeraj/f12gxhxn3odj/wish/119943163 In Salem, most of the women were the accused, or the accusers. This was probably because most of the women were witchcraft practicers and that created a hysteria about heresy. According to Doc B, there were only 2 men and 27 women from age 11-over 21, including  13 women and 7 men being hanged or pressed to death.
