Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2012 in the subject History - America, grade: 68points > 1,7, University of Warwick (Dept. of History), course: Topics of North American History, language: English, abstract: There is no reason for the Salem Witch Craft Trials – at least no instantly understandable one from our modern point of view. The majority of Western civilisation, firstly, would certainly deny magic had any impact on their life and, secondly, would not tolerate such violence as a normal measure of justice. Thus, in order to understand the causes of the events we must try to walk in the villagers’ shoes, explore the historical background. In the seventeenth century, people were still confronted with much more basic threats than just the modern possible lack of self-actualisation.

Book excerpt: Are you ready to discover the horrific narrative that has remained a secret to this day?The Salem Witch Trial is perhaps one of the most popular trials in American history. It ended on 29th of October in 1692/93. The Salem witch story created hysteria in the village of Salem in Massachusetts. In January of 1692, a small group of girls started displaying very weird behavior and started having seizures. They also went into a trance. When physicians were called to see these girls, they could not find any cause for the strange behavior. Since there was no explanation medically, people thought that it was the work of the witches of Salem. So the whole village joined their hands to pray and rid Salem of the witches' grip. The affected girls were then made to confess who caused this behavior. They blamed Martha Cory of the village and believed to have seen Satan. However, she was one of the members of the Puritan congregation, and as she was accused, there was a lot of turbulence. However, the Salem witch affair had already spiraled out of control by then, and more and more girls were behaving weirdly. Martha Corey went to trial and was one of the many of the so-called witches who was hanged.

Book excerpt: Discover The Dark History Of Salem Witch Trials - A History From Beginning To End! The Salem Witch trials are a chapter in the study of human behavior. It shows how the narrow-minded beliefs of some can cause so much destruction. It shows us the extent of conformity that can exist in society and how, at that time, people who tried to find a voice of their own and be unique were targeted for the same. However, the biggest irony of the Salem witch trials is that the people, who feared that Satan was among them, possessed so much evil in their own hearts. And by carrying out the task of wrongfully harming the innocent, they emerged as devils. That is why anyone who hears of the town of Salem immediately thinks of the Salem witch trials of 1692. Probably one of the most controversial occurrences of the time, the trials were a perfect example of what can happen when ignorance and mass hysteria combine.

Download or read book The Witches written by Stacy Schiff and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cleopatra, the #1 national bestseller, unpacks the mystery of the Salem Witch Trials. It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to death. The panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men and prominent politicians in the colony. Neighbors accused neighbors, parents and children each other. Aside from suffrage, the Salem Witch Trials represent the only moment when women played the central role in American history. In curious ways, the trials would shape the future republic. As psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal, THE WITCHES is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical story-the first great American mystery unveiled fully for the first time by one of our most acclaimed historians.

Download or read book A Storm of Witchcraft written by Emerson W. Baker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-08 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in January 1692, Salem Village in colonial Massachusetts witnessed the largest and most lethal outbreak of witchcraft in early America. Villagers--mainly young women--suffered from unseen torments that caused them to writhe, shriek, and contort their bodies, complaining of pins stuck into their flesh and of being haunted by specters. Believing that they suffered from assaults by an invisible spirit, the community began a hunt to track down those responsible for the demonic work. The resulting Salem Witch Trials, culminating in the execution of 19 villagers, persists as one of the most mysterious and fascinating events in American history. Historians have speculated on a web of possible causes for the witchcraft that stated in Salem and spread across the region-religious crisis, ergot poisoning, an encephalitis outbreak, frontier war hysteria--but most agree that there was no single factor. Rather, as Emerson Baker illustrates in this seminal new work, Salem was "a perfect storm": a unique convergence of conditions and events that produced something extraordinary throughout New England in 1692 and the following years, and which has haunted us ever since. Baker shows how a range of factors in the Bay colony in the 1690s, including a new charter and government, a lethal frontier war, and religious and political conflicts, set the stage for the dramatic events in Salem. Engaging a range of perspectives, he looks at the key players in the outbreak--the accused witches and the people they allegedly bewitched, as well as the judges and government officials who prosecuted them--and wrestles with questions about why the Salem tragedy unfolded as it did, and why it has become an enduring legacy. Salem in 1692 was a critical moment for the fading Puritan government of Massachusetts Bay, whose attempts to suppress the story of the trials and erase them from memory only fueled the popular imagination. Baker argues that the trials marked a turning point in colonial history from Puritan communalism to Yankee independence, from faith in collective conscience to skepticism toward moral governance. A brilliantly told tale, A Storm of Witchcraft also puts Salem's storm into its broader context as a part of the ongoing narrative of American history and the history of the Atlantic World.

Download or read book Salem Story written by Bernard Rosenthal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salem Story engages the story of the Salem witch trials by contrasting an analysis of the surviving primary documentation with the way events of 1692 have been mythologised by our culture. Resisting the temptation to explain the Salem witch trials in the context of an inclusive theoretical framework, the book examines a variety of individual motives that converged to precipitate the witch-hunt. Of the many assumptions about the Salem witch trials, the most persistent is that they were instigated by a circle of hysterical girls. Through an analysis of what actually happened - by perusal of the primary materials with the 'close reading' approach of a literary critic - a different picture emerges, one where 'hysteria' inappropriately describes the logical, rational strategies of accusation and confession followed by the accusers, males and females alike.
