Why would people in salmon believe that witchcraft was real

History
1 answer:
olganol [36]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Belief in the supernatural-and specifically in the devil's practice of giving certain humans (witches) the power to harm others in return for their loyalty-had emerged in Europe as early as the 14th century, and was widespread in colonial New England. In addition, the harsh realities of life in the rural Puritan community of Salem Village (present-day Danvers, Massachusetts) at the time included the after-effects of a British war with France in the American colonies in 1689, a recent smallpox epidemic, fears of attacks from neighboring Native American tribes and a longstanding rivalry with the more affluent community of Salem Town (present-day Salem). Amid these simmering tensions, the Salem witch trials would be

fueled by residents' suspicions of and resentment toward their neighbors, as well as their fear of outsiders.

What went wrong during the battle of Camden?
NNADVOKAT [17]
<span>The Battle of Camden in South Carolina was a lopsided victory for the British during the American Revolutionary War. Despite the proliferation of dysentery among his men, Continental General Horatio Gates chose to engage British General Charles Cornwallis’s force on the morning of August 16, 1780. The illness depleted the Patriot advantage in troop numbers, and the British pressed forward aggressively as the sole side in possession of bayonets. With the encounter resulting in nearly 2,000 Patriots killed or taken prisoner and heavy losses of artillery, Gates was removed from command and replaced by Nathanael Greene.</span>

AURORKA [14]

The nation's total wealth more than doubled between 1920 and 1929, and this economic growth swept many Americansinto an affluent but unfamiliar “consumer society.”</span>
