“Were Socioeconomic Tensions Responsible for the Witchcraft Hysteria in Salem?”

History

skad [1K]3 years ago

Many theories have tried to explain why the Salem community exploded in that delirium of witches and demonic disturbances. The most widespread insists on asserting that the Puritans, who ruled the Massachusetts Bay Colony with virtually no real control from 1630 until the enactment of the Royal Charter of Massachusetts in 1692, were going through a period of mass hallucinations and hysteria caused by religious fanaticism.

Most modern historians find this explanation, at least, simplistic. Other theories are based on analyzing the facts of child abuse, guessing by invoking the malignant, and ergotism (full intoxication with fermented rye bread containing mycotoxins from the fungus Claviceps purpurea or ergot that can have effects similar to the hallucinogen LSD), struggle for property, the plot of the Putnam family to destroy rival family Porter, and some others allude to the issue of the "social strangulation" of women, being that the sum of these factors caused the outbreak of religious fanaticism.

Within the small community of Salem there was a strict religious behavior, in which each person watched their neighbors and in turn was watched by them in their words and actions, generating doubts and suspicions in case their behavior did not conform to the Puritan religious parameters. Women were considered as individuals destined to serve their husbands and to lack greater rights, while children were destined to be severely educated from an early age in the work of adults instead of simply playing. Another fundamental concern of this community was to avoid the "wrath of God" and, therefore, to strictly adhere to the religious dictates of Puritanism in order to avoid the divine punishment that resulted in loss of crops, bad weather and livestock deaths.

Which was not a direct result of the great depression
tigry1 [53]
Let's look at our options. A is obviously not the answer. The great depression is remembered for causing great factory closures and high unemployment, and we are looking for what is NOT the direct result. B is possible. Farming was an alternative to city work, so many went to the dust bowl and farmed it to oblivion, making their situation worse. However, people started moving west long before the depression. C is another obvious no. The depression made many lose their jobs and basically eliminated the middle class, making the gap between the very rich and the very poor much bigger. Obvious result of the depressionD is your best answer probably. The original prohibition amendment was in effect form 1920 until 1933, and the depression didn't start until 1929. Therefore, the amendment which was passed to enact Prohibition would have had nothing to do with the great depression. The amendment which later repealed prohibition was mostly attributed to the fact that it had failed. Crime was worse (mobs and mobsters like al capone), people drank anyway, and the government could not practically enforce it. I suppose you could say that the government no longer had the money to enforce it by the end because of the depression, but the government was struggling in that long before the stock market crashed in '29. I would go with D, as it fits best.

This legislation was used to reduce farm production and purchase surplus crops. Tennessee Valley Authority
Zigmanuir [339]
The correct answer is Agricultural Adjustment Act.

There were surpluses of produce so the government bought things like chickens or food and in return they also paid to the farmers not to plant new crops. This was covered by taxing people who were processing farming goods such as meat plants or similar things.
