Puritan Religious Beliefs

There were many devastating events that took place in the year of 1692, however the occasion that arouse in colonial Massachusetts, between February of 1692 and May of 1693, were unfortunate incidents. The lives of nineteen people were taken all because of Puritan Religious Beliefs. Assumptions of these people resulted in not only suffrage in jail but the possibility of death. The mania that outburst was superintended by a thoracic governance, whether than the natural right to a impartial trial.
The Puritans based their life off of what they believed. Anything that was devastating such as fires, enormity, diseases, were know as “Works of the Devil.” It all begin when 3 ladies, Elizabeth Parris, Abigail Williams, and Ann Putnam, were working

on fortune telling. Momentarily after, they were noticed going into brief spasms and deformed positions. Subsequently they had been inspected by the local physician by Elizabeth’s father, he identified that they had been “bewitched”. The three girls went on to accuse many innocent people. With no defense council in Salem, if your were accused you were considered guilty.
This was the plague that erupted the town, and why so many were hung, or pressed to death. As for the three girls accused, Osborne had died in jail, when Tituba admitted to be a witch. Many investigators will reason that she did this to prevent being executed. There was no proof that either of these girls were so called “witches”. Assumptions were made and no actual evidence was here to support it.
Sadly after 185 people were sentenced to jail, the town of Salem had slowly descend into the shadow. Any accusations that were made were automatically believed and involved consequences. The town was hopeless and it was unfortunate to people as well as there reputation. Shorty after, things started to change when George Burrough did something that witches were “supposed” to do. He recited the Lord’s prayer. This, causing many changes to be made around here.
