Document Summary
This weeks books try to explain why exactly it happened and why it grew so big. Salem town v. salem village: independence. Dispute between different families discussing how they wanted salem to be run: salem village agricultural/puritan lifestyle putnam family, salem town economic growth porter family. More witchcraft accusers near salem village while defenders near salem. Although accused witches live more in salem town: seriously salem village folk where haters. Reason/rationale was scarce amongst 17th century puritans. Why did certain accused witches confess: some received less sentencing. Think confessions like the catholic church: er mah gahwd!!! Think food wise: some scholars hypothesize that salem witch trials where caused by bad grain they had. Honestly just look over the lecture notes to use a backing to understand. Open trade ne colonies needed new supplies. Puritans stopped coming over from england: civil war king william and queen mary come into power, the glorious revolution of 1688.
