Answer:

Several centuries ago, many practicing Christians, and those of other religions, had a strong belief that the Devil could give certain people known as witches the power to harm others in return for their loyalty. A "witchcraft craze" rippled through Europe from the 1300s to the end of the 1600s. Tens of thousands of supposed witches—mostly women—were executed. Though the Salem trials came on just as the European craze was winding down, local circumstances explain their onset.

In 1689, English rulers William and Mary started a war with France in the American colonies. Known as King William's War to colonists, it ravaged regions of upstate New York, Nova Scotia and Quebec, sending refugees into the county of Essex and, specifically, Salem Village in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. (Salem Village is present-day Danvers, Massachusetts; colonial Salem Town became what's now Salem.)

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

1. How are patrician and lower class families similar?)) The patricians were any member of a group of citizen families who formed a privileged class in early Rome. The patricians were the wealthy upper class, who owned land and held political power. The plebeians were the working class without substantial wealth. (the head of the family is/were paterfamilias)

2. How are patrician girls and slaves similar/How are Roman women and plebeians similar?))

((woman)) Roman women had a very limited role in public life. They could not attend, speak in, or vote at political assemblies and they could not hold any position of political responsibility. ... Typical jobs undertaken by such women were in agriculture, markets, crafts, as midwives and as wet-nurses.

((plebeians)) They protected some basic rights of all Roman citizens regardless of their social class. Eventually the plebeians were allowed to elect their own government officials. They elected "tribunes" who represented the plebeians and fought for their rights. They had the power to veto new laws from the Roman senate. (Roman women cannot vote, but plebeians now can. in the early stages of Roman, plebeians had very few rights aswell)

3. How does the social class impact the type of food eaten?)) In contemporary Western society, social class differences in food consumption follow a general pattern. Upper class groups consume foods that signify exclusivity and access to rare goods; while lower class groups, on the other hand, consume foods that are readily available.
