What was the underlying cause of the salem witch trials

History
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]4 years ago
5 0
There is about 3 different theories towards whyh the Salem witch trials occurred.

1. The females were alone and bored at home, so they sought for attention and placed blames on innocent women.

2. The women would blame other women that they disliked in terms of revenge towards her or the family, even possibly to use as a scapegoat because they themselves were witches in real life.

3. The wheat that was commonly eaten was going through excess of watering because of the rains, causing it to mold in the inside and that was known to be a causing of hallucinations and strange body movements (which evidently caused them to looked possessed).  

Number 3 is the most commonly accepted one now because even though there were witches during that era, the excess amount was bound to be caused by a group intoxication from the food.
The Salem witch trials were occurred because they saw that the bible says to burn and kill any sort of witchery, and that is was worthy of being rocked down. This was an attempt in following the biblical principles, but it went too far onto blaming innocent people brutally.

Hope that helps! :)

Sometimes you have to take the bad with the good.

Tens of thousands of women joined The Women's Land Army to work the soil, fields, and orchards to free men for military service. Women took to the land gladly and brought in the harvest during the war years to supply food to the nation, the military, and our allies

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life
Helen [10]

Answer: The idea is that if you are doing what you love, it would not be considered work, the philosophy comes from ancient Chinese sage Confucius, but the student considers this assertion anachronistic because job choice flexibility was sharply limited in the era of Confucius. Today, this might affect someone's beliefs because jobs today are still jobs. Even if you love it, there will be some downs and you are still working.
