Some believe that this tragic event, which took place over 300 years ago, was the result of a restrictive type of government practiced by the Massachusetts Bay Colony and new economic pressures in the Colony's towns that may have caused bitterness, aggression, and outright paranoia. The whole disaster can be traced back to Reverand Samuel Parris' daughter, niece, and slave. Betty, his daughter, and Abigail, Parris' niece, had become fascinated with voodoo and the black arts after hearing stories from Tituba, the slave. They began having fits; and when the doctor could find no reason, he declared witchcraft. Whether they truly had fits or got caught up in their lies, the girls were pressed to give names of the ones involved with the witchcraft. The accusations escalated and escalated until the situation turned into a mass frenzy. colton_gavaza https://padlet.com/colton_gavaza/u4ntqfxhfjxxpg68/wish/1739754655 2021-09-14 14:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/colton_gavaza/u4ntqfxhfjxxpg68/wish/1739754655
