Answer:

gossip, religion, lies, betrayal,

Explanation:

A lot of social changes and events occurred that caused the Salem witch trials. The current religion at the time was puritanism, they were a very strict and proper group of people. They believed that everyone was born evil and they their life was to listen and obey the word of god to get into heaven. Most stories go back saying the cause of the Salem Witch trials began by a slave named Tituba, who was teaching the local girls games/answers through witchcraft. Once this outbreak occurred many of the girls began to act strangely and accused people of bewitching them. All you had to say was so and so is a witch and that person was on trial for witchcraft. You didn't even have to be necessarily be involved if a name was asked a name was said. If you went against the word of God or questioned why someone was a witch or defended them you were also accused of being a witch. I hope this helps better understand the Salem witch trials.
