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.

How do you think the court's brown ruling was received in the south
hichkok12 [17]
<span>The ruling was not received well in the south, and some of those vestiges still remain to this day. The end of segregated schooling, which had to be rectified "with all deliberate speed," took quite a while to occur. Even today, there are schools that, while they might not be segregated on a "de jure" basis, are still "de facto" separated based on racial characteristics.</span>
