It took place in Massechusetts from February 1692 to May 1693. They were killed either by being hanged or being pressed, having a lot of weight put on your till you are crushed to death. ]]> 2019-12-12 12:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423207475 s_rylee_davis https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423209338 In Massachusetts it show the triangles and the squares.

Sometimes people would plead to not being a witch but they hung them anyway. ]]> 2019-12-12 12:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423211627 s_marissa_abbott https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423212014 Giles Corey confessed to witchcraft and just said "more weight" ]]> 2019-12-12 12:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423212014 s_marissa_abbott https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423888044 In document B it listed all the people that were hung or died from being accused of witchcraft. For example, Thomas Oliver accused her of witchcraft, claiming that "she was a bad wife. . . the devil had come bodily to her . . . and she sat up all night with the devil." So just because she was a bad wife he accused her and got her killed kind of like rivlry.  ]]> 2019-12-13 16:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423888044 s_marissa_abbott https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423888171 Based on document D, you can see people examining this woman for having a marking on her body and they thought she was a witch.]]> 2019-12-13 16:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423888171 s_marissa_abbott https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423888265 In document F, it said, "(Bridget Bishop) I know nothing of it. I am innocent to a witch. I know not what a witch is." So she didn't even know what a witch was but they were still accusing her and people were still accusing her because girls were either faking or acting to make people believe she was a witch.

This happened by people starting it as a joke sorta but it got serious so then people started believing in witchcraft and brought religous beliefs into it and used it as an excuse for rivalry. ]]> 2019-12-13 16:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423888474 s_rylee_davis https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423889520 According to document G it said, "the “afflicted children” and their associates?… It was perhaps their original design to gratify a love of notoriety or of mischief by creating…excitement in their neighborhood…" So it's saying the children were doing mischeif creating people to be accuse others of withcraft.]]> 2019-12-13 16:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423889520 s_rylee_davis https://padlet.com/s_marissa_abbott/pn8elbbepx5w/wish/423903660 “Thou shall not suffer a witch to live.”
This quote is from the bible and its saying they will not let a witch live and if someone is accused they die so people with strong religious beliefs would listen to this. (Document A)
