Salem Witch Trials - Erika and Caitlyn by Caitlyn Lea https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk Made with a stroke of good luck en-us 2019-12-11 13:41:17 UTC 2025-08-13 17:09:06 UTC hello@padlet.com introduction s_erika_medina_pedroza https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/422695870 We believe that the Salem Witch Trials was caused  by people accusing random innocent people. The kids were the ones accusing/framing people as a joke, this was happening around 1692 and this took place at colonial Massachusetts ]]> 2019-12-11 13:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/422695870 What Caused the Salem Witch Trials s_caitlyn_lea https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/422696990 We think the cause of the witch trials was other people in the village framing certain people for one reason or another. Witches were not a real thing and there weren't actually people going around the village placing spells on people, they were just made up and are just a supernatural fake creature. To prove this claim we will use Document F, G, H, and I. ]]> 2019-12-11 13:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/422696990 Document #1 (F) s_caitlyn_lea https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/422701723 In this first document Bridget Bishop is being examined because she was accused of being a witch. This document helps support our claim because it is giving us evidence that she might have been framed. The document states, "(Examiner) Hath this woman hurt you? (speaking to afflicted girls)
(Bridget Bishop) I never saw these persons before..." This proves there is a chance of her being framed because she mentions how she has never seen these people before and she keeps saying how she is innocent, proving she is in fact innocent and framed.

Document G helps support our claim by it stating "They soon, however, became intoxicated by the terrible success of their imposture" by this you can their reasons on why they kept framing people ]]> 2019-12-12 17:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423400353 Document #3 (E) s_caitlyn_lea https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423409662 This document talks about the marital statuses of the accusers and the accused. In the data you can see that most of the accusers were mainly single women. However, the accused were mostly married women. This proves that they were targeting married women to frame for being a "witch". ]]> 2019-12-12 17:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423409662 Document #4 (I) s_erika_medina_pedroza https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423412417 So Document 4 it has a map that describes how certain parts of the Salem village was divided like they had the people who were accused of being witches in another place it shows who accused the people of being witches and lastly they also show the people how defended the people who were accused of being witches. ]]> 2019-12-12 17:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423412417 Document #3 (E) picture s_caitlyn_lea https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423417855 2019-12-12 17:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423417855 Image s_caitlyn_lea https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423765177 This shows how people kept on getting framed and how they were getting very annoyed by it. ]]> 2019-12-13 13:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423765177 image s_erika_medina_pedroza https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423765841 In this image it is showing the woman about to get hanged because she was framed of being a witch, you also see a women in the side being shocked because they know that the woman is innocent ]]> 2019-12-13 13:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423765841 Disagreeing Document (H) s_caitlyn_lea https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423766363 In the text of this document it talks about some of the side effects people would have if they had a disease causing them to be hysterical. Some people believed the cause of the "witches" was them just being hysterical. However, we disagree and we believe "witches" were a problem because people kept on framing innocent people. ]]> 2019-12-13 13:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423766363 image s_erika_medina_pedroza https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423768167 In this image you can see two people about to get their head chopped off, the two people are a man and a women. If you see two men holding a old guy it appears to be them accusing him to be a witch as well.]]> 2019-12-13 13:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423768167 Conclusion s_caitlyn_lea https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423768620 In conclusion, we believe it is clear that the cause of the SWT was framing. People kept framing innocent people for being a witch. They were targeting married women and it just kept going on and on. This is why we believe the SWT were caused because of framing. ]]> 2019-12-13 13:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/s_caitlyn_lea/jf4dwucpb1vk/wish/423768620
