5 Based on the article you read:
Describe the trials that occurred in Salem as a result of the Witchcraft hysteria. What kind of “evidence” was used in these trials?

6 The Devil in Massachusetts

7 Tensions Emerge The Navigation Acts, however, did not sit well with everyone. A number of colonial merchants resented the trade restrictions, and many continued to smuggle, or trade illegally, goods to and from other countries. For years England did little to stop these violations. Finally, in 1684, King Charles II acted, punishing those colonists whom he believed most resisted English authority: the leaders and merchants of Massachusetts. CRACKDOWN IN MASSACHUSETTS   Charles certainly had evidence to support his belief. The Puritan leaders of Massachusetts had long professed their hostility to royal authority and even suggested that their corporate charter did not require them to obey Parliament.    In 1684, after failing to persuade Massachusetts to obey English laws, England revoked the colony's corporate charter. Massachusetts, the "Puritan utopia," was suddenly a royal colony, under strict control of the crown.

8 Assertion of Royal Control
Continues to tighten Glorious Revolution: parliament reasserted their control but royal control was re-imposed on colonies

9 What were the underlying causes of the Salem witch hunts in 1692?
General fear all over Europe, conflict from reformation and religious strife Witch hunts occurred in Europe, especially in England (connected with religions issues)

10 Popular writings/preachers at the time:
Nathanial Hale Cotton Mather Increase Mather

12 In Massachusetts: Puritan belief in the literal meaning of the Bible
Life in the colonies was extremely difficult Agricultural crop failure Constant warfare Internal drama within the community High infant mortality rate Suffering caused by King Philips war Loss of charter for self government

13 The Trials Spectral evidence
Those that admitted to witchcraft were spared, those that maintained their innocence were executed Trials were highly emotional and intimidating for the accused

14 Outcomes: Concepts of innocence and justice
Fatal blow to the unquestioned power of the puritans in New England Highlights the frailty of human understanding and the power of unknown and unfounded fear
