Would mostly accuse people of marriage.They would accuse them of doing things such as witch craft.Witch craft is things like potions and other things that can undoubtedly hurt people. This started to take place in 1692 in mostly Salem according to "Salem's court record documents" saying when some of accused died in jail after being accused.]]> 2021-01-20 16:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/scyrustrent/tm5a3hh1ubo5i9fo/wish/1106409402 scyrustrent https://padlet.com/scyrustrent/tm5a3hh1ubo5i9fo/wish/1107060130 What I think caused the Salem Witch Trials is that it could of been jealousy. Why I think it is jealousy is because in one of the documents "(E)" it says that most of the accused of witch craft where  married. Where the accusers in the document where not married. 

So I think that one of the possible reasons is that the accusers where jealous of the accused because they had husbands and wives.]]> 2021-01-20 18:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/scyrustrent/tm5a3hh1ubo5i9fo/wish/1107060130 scyrustrent https://padlet.com/scyrustrent/tm5a3hh1ubo5i9fo/wish/1107584477 Another reason I think caused the Salem Witch Trials is that many people had hysteria. Which sort of means they have gone crazy. The accusers would tell the people that had hysteria that the have become a witch. Since the people had hysteria didn't know what was happening they would just believe them. And think they where a witch.]]> 2021-01-20 20:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/scyrustrent/tm5a3hh1ubo5i9fo/wish/1107584477 scyrustrent https://padlet.com/scyrustrent/tm5a3hh1ubo5i9fo/wish/1110879335 People believed that there where evil spirits everywhere for any person. Even if that person was a follower of God.They believed that there where actually bad things like demons that would control the people to do bad things. So they would try and keep that problem they thought about under control.]]> 2021-01-21 16:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/scyrustrent/tm5a3hh1ubo5i9fo/wish/1110879335 scyrustrent https://padlet.com/scyrustrent/tm5a3hh1ubo5i9fo/wish/1110918963 There were many people that would fake things happening. They were very good actors and that caused many people to end up dying. They would make all of the people in Salem think that certain people were bad. And they were taken over by devils or just became a witch. They would say things that made "Once or twice they were caught in their own snare, and nothing but the blindness of the bewildered community saved them from disgraceful exposure and well-deserved punishment." From the document, G shows that they did very bad things and blew out of proportion and made people look bad which ended up leading all to death!]]> 2021-01-21 16:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/scyrustrent/tm5a3hh1ubo5i9fo/wish/1110918963 scyrustrent https://padlet.com/scyrustrent/tm5a3hh1ubo5i9fo/wish/1110999376 This picture is showing an Examination of a witch by an accuser looking like there is something on her back.

There is so many reasons to why people where jealous of the accused because they had husbands and wives but what I also think is that people have hysteria and where accused because they where acting crazy.]]> 2021-01-21 20:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/scyrustrent/tm5a3hh1ubo5i9fo/wish/1111875107 scyrustrent https://padlet.com/scyrustrent/tm5a3hh1ubo5i9fo/wish/1112220861 In document I it shows That there is many accusers that live in the west side.
