One person named "Giles Cory" being pressed to death and also saying "more weight" because he was being rebellious and knew he was being accused of something that he did not do. Most of the accused were women meanwhile there was still some men. and the accusers of the accused were women. The Salem Witch Trials took place around May 1693. We believe that many women were accusing other women and some men of being witches. ]]> 2019-12-11 19:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/422921383 Document E Argument s_jalye_griffin https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/423265579 In the Salem witch trails, most of the accused were women and some men not a lot.

There was about 13 women who were hung and this shows that most of the accused witches were women. There was only 7 men who were accused and hung. There was also some who had died in jail and there was only about 4-5. Bridget Bishop was the first to be hung on June 10]]> 2019-12-12 14:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/423265805 Document i s_jalye_griffin https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/423275339 on the map, there are more accused witches on the right side then the left, most accusers were on the left side. This leads us to believe that the town was split up into 2 parts one side were the rich people lived and one side were the poor people live. Therefore the witches were accused by a lot of rich people, maybe the rich people didn't like sharing the town with the poor so they accused him. ]]> 2019-12-12 14:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/423275339 Document F s_emily_velez https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/423275513 Bridget Bishop was being accused by other women that she was a witch and that she was bewitching her husband. They said in the examination that "She Shook Her Head And The Afflicted were tortured." they were saying that they saw bridget or heard that she was doing the actions that seemed to be witch-like. They were being scared because when she had turned her eyes up and then everyone else'd did and then to them that meant that she was a witch. ]]> 2019-12-12 14:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/423275513 Quote from document I s_jalye_griffin https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/423963977 here is the map from document i ]]> 2019-12-13 18:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/423963977 Quote/Citation from Document F s_emily_velez https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/423966052 For example in the Document F it says "She shook her head and the afflicted were tortured
 
(Examiner) Why you seem to act witchcraft before us by the motion of your body, which seems to have influence over the afflicted?
(Bridget Bishop) I know nothing of it. I am innocent to a witch. I know not what a witch is.

For example in the text it says "Ergotism, or long-term ergot poisoning, was once a common  condition resulting from eating contaminated rye bread. " and that many women and adolescents got it and when they ate it and got the disease this made them think that you were a witch. ]]> 2019-12-13 18:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/423971251 Conclusion s_emily_velez https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/423976172 In conclusion we believe that the salem witches were wrongfully accused. The most reliable reason that we have for this is because we think that the women were going around assuming males but mostly females were witches because of their withclife actions. They heard that people were doing witchcraft within the village. We can get this information form the Bridget Bishop examination Document F]]> 2019-12-13 19:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/s_emily_velez/hriwqi6kry84/wish/423976172
