place in 1692 in Stamford Connecticut. The Stamford witch trial was one of two witch trials that would take place in the New England colonies during 1692. The other, more famous, witch hunt would take place in Salem, a town in Massachusetts Bay colony. The Salem witch trials are a significant event in early American history. They are often cited as evidence of the religious fanaticism and the close-mindedness of puritan society. So why then are the events that happened in Stamford not held up as
An example of the colonists being rational in their decision making is, “The officials responsible for handling… must be irrefutable” (Godbeer pgs.7-8). This quote emphasizes the cautious manner the people of Stamford took to avoid any false accusations.

“Escaping Salem, The Other Witch Hunt of 1692,” is one of the very few books that talks about the other witch trials that took place in New England. By comparing Stamford to Salem, Godbeer argues that Stamford’s witch trials were more typical of legal witch accusations in Colonial America; Salem’s trials were an anomaly. What made Stamford typical was the local Magistrates insistence on following the letter of the law which made proving witchcraft very difficult. In June 1692, a few months after the

One of my main focuses has to do with how the formation of the armies of Harold and William shaped the outcome of the Battle at Hastings. While this is not my main point, I will say that it is a major contributing factor. Think for a moment: how could two, almost evenly matched armies meet on the field of battle and yet have such a defined victor? What did William the Conqueror have that King Harold did not. To do this, we must first look at each army in detail. For starters, we shall look at Duke
