DUE MONDAY, MARCH 2, BY 7:45 AM
You must post ONE response to the questions and TWO repsonses to your peers.
1) People in Salem are being accused of being witches, but what are the specific accusations? (What did these women do that have caused people to think they are witches?)
2) What reason would someone have to call someone a witch, even if they knew they were not a witch?
3) Using document 13, what is the demographic (how many are men, women, young, single, married, etc.) of the accused witches and the witnesses?
4) Based on document 14, were the accussed witches people the villagers probably liked?
5) What is Ann Putnam confessing in document 16?
6) What role does the 2nd Great Awakening play in allowing the "witch trial hysteria" to take place?
7) Document 17 is a secondary source, meaning it was written long after the Salem Witch trials occurred (1986). What reasons does he give for the witch trials taking place and how does he fit it into the "big picture" of what was going on during the late 1600s?

The Salem Witch Trial was very confusing, and hard to understand.
1)I think there were innocent, or at least, no-demon people being accused wrongly. The accused were said to have afflicted innocent a by biting, pinching, strangling and other horrible deeds.
2)One reason they might call someone of witch if because they wanted to. They could call someone a witch because they were another different religion. Many people believed their religion is right and better than the other ones out there. Another reason would be discrimination. There was a women who said the saint was like the black men who whispered to the witch's ear. The accusers probably thought it was wrong to talk, or treat colored people the same way you treat the white people. They could have also accused their enemy, or a person they loathed, in order to have the accused "witch" hanged, killed, or imprisoned;jealousy.
3) No one was saved from being accused wrongly as a witch:
MEN-24
FEMALE-110
YOUNG-34 [men and women]
SINGLE-13
MARRIED-15
WITNESSES-[male 53] [women 20]
I think more women were accused than men, and the witnesses, or the one's accusing someone of being a with, where mostly male.
4) The accused witches probably weren't liked by the villagers. The witches were convicted by being witches and robbers, liars, sex offenders, assaulters, and frauds, etc.
5) Well, I think that Ann Putnam is confessing that her accusations were wrong. She is overwhelmed by guilt of the death of many innocent people. She say's she was wrong and mislead by Satan, and was ignorant. She want's to lie down and die, and ask for forgiveness for all those people she convicted wrongly.
6)I don't understand question 6....
7) I don't quite understand question seven. The secondary source talks about how the colonist, or puritans came to settle in Boston. When they came here there where angered "indians" and bushes surrounding their area. The source say's the devil left, when they bushes, trees, and stuff were cut down. The devil wasn't there because people lived in tolerance, and there were no wars. The source mentioned that the Bay used to have ghosts, and that people wondered what was going on in the new world. I think it fit's into the big picture because today we have superstitions, legends and fables about witches, ghost, and other horror things that scare us. I don't know...
1) They believe that they are witched because they think that they are strange because they believe in magic and other thinks and they believe they there is a way to heal people with some sort of remedy.
2) Some people might be called a witch without really being it is someone might want to get them in trouble or the accuser might want to get rid of that person.

4) I think that the villagers didn’t like or thought that the person that was being accused was weird or they didn’t deserve to live.
5) I think that Ann Putnam was kind of upset with the person that accused her of being a witch and even though people know she wasn’t a witch she still was killed and many other lives were also sacrificed because of what thought.
6) I think that people weren’t judge as fast and were given a chance to defend themselves of any crime that they were being accused of.
7) I don’t really understand this question and what it’s asking?

I agree with Shirley because this was hard to understand and it was hard to find an answer.

7) I don’t really understand this question and what it’s asking?
I agree with the answer of Shirley's second question because I think that people were being accused because people just wanted to call them a witch.
The Salem Witch Trials were more complicated and harsh than i expected, and they were hard to understand like Shirley said.
1) People in Salem, most of which were women, were being accused of witchcraft. It says that in Document #8 people who were accused of 'being demons' or 'possessed' had usually bitten, strangled, or pinched another individual.
2) There were many possible reasons or motives to why someone would call another human a witch; some of them being religion, location, and money. During the Salem Witch Trials in the late 1690's people had many different views on God and Jesus Christ which is shown in Document #7. Another reason may have been their location. As seen in Documents #3, 4, and 5, accusers and the accused often lived in separated and grouped areas. And in Document #14, it also states that accused witches were convicted of crimes prior to 1692, some of them being assault, theft, lying, and sex offense, so maybe the victim of those crimes previously committed had accused that individual of being a witch.
3) In Document #13, out of the 134 accused witches , 24 were men and 110 were women, 34 of which were young.
4) Based on Document #14, I seriously doubt that the accused witches were people that their society liked. There were 53 total people accused of committing crimes prior to being accused of witchcraft.
5) In Document #16, Anne Putnam says how she takes responsibility of accusing people of witchcraft and after they were killed she realized they were innocent.
6) I don't get this question..
7) In Document #17, Kai T. Erikson first explains how the early settlers adapted and remembered their new environment (i.e. the bushes, animals, trees, etc.) He later describes the Indians taking form of the Devil and people had begun seeing ghosts.
1. It states that people who were accused of ''being demons'' where accused for bitting, pinching, strangling someone else.
2. People might have referred to others as witches because of religion differences, residental issues, and if they had commited anything bad. Even if they knew that this person wasn't a witch they probably just said it to have this person killed and looked upon as a witch because they didn't like something about them, may it be thier backround, religion, race, or thinking.
3.
Men(24)
Female(110)
Young men and women(34)
Single(13)
Married(15)
Witnesses: male(53),women(20)
4. The accused witches were not people the villagers liked because then they wouldn't have killed them. Most of these people had commited some sort of crime.
5. Anne Putnam confesses that her accusations were wrong. After the killings of these so called "witches" she relized their innocence, and shows her sorrow and offence.
6. That there are no such things as witches and that people should of took that in cinsideration before claiming someone to be a witch.
7. He believed the devil no longer lurked underneath and was taking a new form as the indians. It was also believed there were ghosts at the Bay.
1) People in Salem who were accused of being witches were accused because they had either strangled, bitten, pinched someone. People were also accused of being a witch because of the things they did that may have made them look suspicious.
2) Someone would call someone else a witch because they practiced a differnt religion, were previously convicted for a crime, or even if that person was someone that they didn't like.
3) In document 13 it states that 24 men, 110 women, 34 young, 13 single, and 15 married couples were accused of being witches. Altogether there were 73 witnesses.
4) Based on document 14 the accused withces were probably people that weren't liked by the villagers.
5) In document 16, Ann Putnam, is confessing that the people she accused of being witches were innocent and falsely accused of being witches.
6) I know the 2nd Great Awakening had to do something with religion, but I'm not sure what role it had in allowing the "witch trial hysteria" to take place.
7) The question is confusing, and I'm not sure how to answer the question.
I agree with Shirley and Chloe. The Salem Witch Trials were hard to understand.
I also agree with Shirleys answer to the seconde question: "They could have also accused their enemy, or a person they loathed..." I think it's wrong that anybody would accuse someone of practicing witchcraft just because they hated them. That's extremely selfish and "low", because the person accused would eventually die.
1- People which were accused of being witches, were mostly out casted by the town. The people which didn't attend churc, people doing voodoo, or followers of voodoo. These people were considered witches and we condemned.
2- People judged other people for specific reasons. They could possibly be jealous, or they just didn't like the person. People that were different by race, religion, and culture, were also outcasted. Some people did it just to take the spot light off themselves if they were in a bad situation.
3-
24 men were accused
110 females were accused
34 younger people both men and women were accused
13 single people were accused
15 married were accused
There were 53 male witnesses, and 20 women witnesses
4-
No, I think the accused people weren't favored by the town. Prior to being accused as a witch, they were accused of many different crimes. Assaultive Speech, Theft, Lying, Sex offenses, Physical Assault, were just some on the crimes.
5-
Ann Putnan was talking on behalf of all of the people which were accused. She thinks the people being accused weren't bad people, they were wrongfully accused. She says that in the time of the crimes, she was misled by the devil to think they were witches.
6- People began to realize accusing these people of crimes was wrong. The oringinal accusers took the time out to hear the people out. After the second great awakening, accusations began to stop. People stopped accusing the innocent.
7- Can some one please help me with this question???
The packet of primary sources about the Salem witch trials are the most confusing documents I have read.
First because of the way the English language used to be spoken.
Second the format was different and it made me think about it as documents that are simply boring to read.
But there are parts in the packet that made me understand why people would accuse other people of witch craft, and it made me think why the thought of Witchcraft would exist in the first place. You wonder why people would accuse others falsely about a subject that we look at today as foolish things.
But over all I have to agree with the previous people who said the sources were a bit confusing
Answers to questions:
1: People, well women mostly, had been accused by other people for being a witch for actions like having familiarity with the devil, or like Chloe said: being a demon or being possessed. But they were also accused to be witches because they had either bit, pinched or strangled another individual. One of the primary sources mentioned something about a yellow bird that sucked betwixt, or between, the fingers of some women who was accused of being a witch and I didn’t understand whether that phrase was implying something literally or figuratively.
2: Sometimes people would accuse other people just because they wanted to. Maybe the accuser had something against the person they accused, or the accused persons practiced a different religion, or the accused persons were considered outcasts, or maybe the accused person had committed a crime before and got away with it, but if you accused them, the accused person wouldn’t be able to get away with it this time.
3: Accused:
Men- 24 ………… Single: 8 | Married: 15 | Widowed: 1
Women- 110 ……. Single: 29 | Married: 61 | Widowed: 20
Young men and women- 34
Witnesses:
Men: 53 ………… Single: 11 | Married: 39 | Widowed: 3
Women: 20 ……... Single: 3 | Married: 16 | Widowed: 1
4: I don’t think the accused victims were liked by the village people because first of all someone accused them for being a witch and another reason because of the convictions they had before, thus these convictions are one of the motives used to accuse people.
5: Ann Putnam sounds like she is denying the charges she accused people of doing, and asking for forgiveness because she found out that they were all wrong. But her testimony in document 16 is confusing.
6: At first I didn’t get this question, but after I read what Brandon said: “I know the 2nd Great Awakening had to do something with religion, but I'm not sure what role it had in allowing the "witch trial hysteria" to take place.”
I think that if the Second Great Awakening was a religious act, then the opposite side, or the Witchcraft hysteria, possibly wanted to strike back. I don’t think everyone understands why these witch trials sparked in the first place, but if it was because of the Second Great Awakening, then I think that’s why the hysteria of witchcraft started.
7: Kai T. Erikson reasons sound as if he’s blaming the Native Americans. The “big picture” still doesn’t follow through as a new, positive, and exciting world to come and live in. instead there are people accusing each other of witch craft because of unexplainable reasons and false ones. Erikson believes that the evil was no longer lingering on the settles, but rather the Natives. If you look at it this way it makes sense because if the settles are trying to fully eliminate the existence of native Americans to achieve the “big picture,” then why not blame the Indians for the mistakes of the settlers.
I agree with mayra Ann Putman was upset that they accused her of being a witch. Although, Im a bit confused, didn't Ann also accuse others of being witches, and then later admit that she might have been wrong?
I agree with Jess. They were trying to say that the Native Americans were like the evil lurking aroung the colonies. Since some colonist didn't like or get along with the Natives, they acucused the Natives of being evil.
I also think that the colonist just lost their minds, and they wanted reasons to kill people.
The Salem Witch Trial was very confusing, and hard to understand.
1)I think there were innocent, or at least, no-demon people being accused wrongly. The accused were said to have afflicted innocent a by biting, pinching, strangling and other horrible deeds.
2)One reason they might call someone of witch if because they wanted to. They could call someone a witch because they were another different religion. Many people believed their religion is right and better than the other ones out there. Another reason would be discrimination. There was a women who said the saint was like the black men who whispered to the witch's ear. The accusers probably thought it was wrong to talk, or treat colored people the same way you treat the white people. They could have also accused their enemy, or a person they loathed, in order to have the accused "witch" hanged, killed, or imprisoned;jealousy.
3) No one was saved from being accused wrongly as a witch:
MEN-24
FEMALE-110
YOUNG-34 [men and women]
SINGLE-13
MARRIED-15
WITNESSES-[male 53] [women 20]
I think more women were accused than men, and the witnesses, or the one's accusing someone of being a with, where mostly male.
4) The accused witches probably weren't liked by the villagers. The witches were convicted by being witches and robbers, liars, sex offenders, assaulters, and frauds, etc.
5) Well, I think that Ann Putnam is confessing that her accusations were wrong. She is overwhelmed by guilt of the death of many innocent people. She say's she was wrong and mislead by Satan, and was ignorant. She want's to lie down and die, and ask for forgiveness for all those people she convicted wrongly.
6)I think the secong awakening brought people back to church, and it might have calmed down the people and their crazy beleives. I also think the enlighment might have saved many lives, since it asked for real proof of witchcraft, rather than stories.
7) I don't quite understand question seven. The secondary source talks about how the colonist, or puritans came to settle in Boston. When they came here there where angered "indians" and bushes surrounding their area. The source say's the devil left, when they bushes, trees, and stuff were cut down. The devil wasn't there because people lived in tolerance, and there were no wars. The source mentioned that the Bay used to have ghosts, and that people wondered what was going on in the new world. I think it fit's into the big picture because today we have superstitions, legends and fables about witches, ghost, and other horror things that scare us. I don't know...
1.) The accused "witches" did things like bite, pinch, strangle, practice weird things.
2.) People would get accused of being a witch for even the smallest things or beliefs. Some things that could get someone accused of being a witch were: biting, pinching, strangling and other horrible things, or maybe practicing a different religion, or strange beliefs.
3.) Anyone could get accused of being a witch:
Men-24
women-110
young men & women-34
single-13
married-15
Witnesses-male 53; women 20
4.)No. The accused witches most likely were not liked by the people in the town or they were people who had committed crimes, or had done something offensive.
5.) Anne Putnam admits she was accusing people of witchcraft and once she was accused herself, she realized that she had falsely accused many people.
6.) People finally started to realize that there are no such things as witches and that they had wrongly accused many people.
7.) 7.) He believed that the devil was the Native Americans. I don't really know about that whole big picture thing, though.
1) People in Salem who were accused of being witches were accused because they had either strangled, bitten, pinched someone. People were also accused of being a witch because of the things they did that may have made them look suspicious.
2) Someone would call someone else a witch because they practiced a differnt religion, were previously convicted for a crime, or even if that person was someone that they didn't like.
3) In document 13 it states that 24 men, 110 women, 34 young, 13 single, and 15 married couples were accused of being witches. Altogether there were 73 witnesses.
4) Based on document 14 the accused withces were probably people that weren't liked by the villagers.
5) In document 16, Ann Putnam, is confessing that the people she accused of being witches were innocent and falsely accused of being witches.
6) The 2nd Great Awakening was a period of uprise and revival of religion. I think the 2nd Great Awakening allowed the "witch trial hysteria" to take place because as people began to have more faith they realized that witches didn't exist, which forced people to have to give proof if they tried to accuse someone of being a witch.
7) The question is confusing, and I'm not sure how to answer the question.
Im lost...
1) The accused witches did things like bites, pinching, strangle, and somewhat, practice witchcraft. This is what brought the Salem people to believe that the women were witches.
2) Maybe the person accusing someone has it in for this person. The accusing person might not like the person because of something this person might have done.
3)24 men
110 females
34 younger people both men and women
13 single people
15 married
There were 53 male, and 20 women witnesses
4) The villagers did not like the witches. Reasons will be that the witches were also accused by the villagers of many crimes witch brought the hatred between the witches and the villagers.
5) Ann Putnam, in document 16, supported the witches and said that the villagers were wrong at accusing the people who were thought to be witches.
6) Innocent people were no longer being accused for crimes that were done. The 2nd great awakening brought accusation to an end. The accusers finally opened their eyes and realized what they were doing was wrong.
7) He, referring to Kai T. Erikson, believed that the Natives brought the horror that the settlers once had. The settlers wanted to achieve the “big picture” and keep it out of reach from the Native Americans. This brought the settlers to get rid of the existences of the Native Americans.
I agree with Shirley and Mayra on question 2. they both bring out interesting points on why a person might be accused as a witch.
I agree with everyones answers for number 3 because it's written.
For number 4, Chloe said it was a total of 53 accused people, when it was 52.
1. The women reactions and thier behavoir was why people accused of been witches.
2. The reasons my vary because two women my get into a fight and they will start calling themselves name. Some of people may not be in the same religion as others so they will call them witches just to get them angry.
3. A.W.
Male-24
Female-110
Y.W.

female-29
Witnesses
male- 53
female-20
It looks like more women were accused by than the men.
4. The accused witch people
were not liked by the villagers because they were considered as evil people who always kills other people.
5. Ann Putnam confessing was that she has done nothing wrong of been accused as a witch and believes that some of the people who were accused of been witches were innocent people.
6. The Great Awakening played a role of letting the accused people confesed before they are been jugged and also to build churches to convet the accused witches into Christianity.
7. It gave a reason why people were living in the wilderness.
I agreed with Shirley because the accused witches were innocent they could't defend themselves because the cout won't believe them.
I also agree with Mayra which is Ann Putnum and other people who were accused witches were innocents.
1)They thought they were witches because of the crazy things they did. They would do things with there fingers that would weird people out.
2)i don't understand this question....
3)there are 268 accused Witches and 24 are male, 110 are female, 37 single, 76 are married and 21 are widowed.
4)i don't think the villagers like the accused witches because they steal, lie, physical assault etc.
5)Ann Putnam is confessing how she takes responsibility on how she accused them that they were witches.
6)i don't understand this question...
7)he believed that the devil formed part of the Native Americans...and i don't really understand the other questions.
i agree with Shirley on question number 2...she gives good details..
I don't know if this is true, but i remember learning that if an accused person was about to be hung,or executed, they had a second chance of life if they said the Our Father without thouroughly without hesitating.
GEN: about #6:
What role does the 2nd Great Awakening play in allowing the "witch trial hysteria" to take place?
remember how in class today we learned about the Second Great Awakening? How it had to do with religion and re-directing people to God.
Apply that concept to the question.
it probably confuses you becuase its saying how it took part, or allowed the hysteria, but from what i understood it didn't allow it to continue or start, the awakening lured an end to it.
1. Like Shirly said I also believe that they were innocent as well. They said that they accused had to pinch,bite, and kill.
2. They could of called the people a witch beacuse of the religion they believed in and or practiced. Many of the people thought that were religion was better then everyone elses.
3.I believe that noone was saved from being called a witch.
Men-24
Female-110
Young-34 men & women
Single-13
Married-15
Witnesses -
Male 53 & Women 20
4. I believe that the villagers didnt think it was right to be accused or killed.
I agree with Brandon because i think these people accused people of being a witch because they might of not like them or they thought that person as weird or suspicious.
5. I agree with Gen on this one. I believe Ann Putnam is confessing on how she took responsibility on how she herself accused them to being witches.
6. I believe that the people now were finally realizing that they were wrong for accusing them. People began listening and paying attention after the Great Awakening came about.
7. I really dont understand this question.
7. I really dont understand this question.
1. Beacause they did harm to people, like strangeled, or bit someone.
2. Because they did suspicious things and they practiced other religions. Committing past crimes couldd also play a part in this.
3. 24 men, 110 women, 34 young people, 13 single people, 15 married couples were being accuse of wichcraft. 53 male witnesses and 20 female witnesses.
4. The villagers didnt like the witches.
5. she confessed to accusing people of witchcraft that were really innocent.
6. A time of religious revival. It allowed the whitch trial to take place because their faith helped them realize that they were wrong for accusing the innocent.
7. eh like everyone else, I dont understand how to answer this question.

Kai T. Erikson believes that the devil was no longer lingering in the settlers, but instead uin the Natives.His beliefs are the devil no longer hid behind bushes and no longer taking the shapes of hostile Indians. I think Erikson was sticking up for the way the Salem Witch Trials went down, and I highly disagree with him.
Shirley, you said you don't understand number six, i'll help you. Ok well I think people started realizing that accusing these people without any facts was wrong. So they began actually looking at facts instead if just assuming. She says how bad she feels and how wrong she was for her accusations made. I hope this helped you.
I agree with Jess's answer to number 7. The “big picture” didn't seem like a positive, and exciting world to come and live in. I think that instead people would be terrified to come live in a world where anything you do could get you accused of witch craft.
I think that Shirley's answer to number 1 is right, but I don't get what you mean by "I think there were innocent, or at least, no-demon people being accused wrongly."?
