Salem Witch Trials
Salem Witch Trials
In the years 1692 to 1693 there was an unruly and unjustified cause stirring in the air and surrounding areas in a colony in Massachusetts where more than two hundred innocent colonials were accused of practicing and holding events in the name of evil and in events in witchcraft and twenty were executed. Called the devil’s magic, witchcraft was being seen nothing other than one whom holds innocents and a grudge of one whom was innocent of this misjudgment. Most of the accused would be women and even ministers which even were executed unjustly. The women that were mostly accused would be unmarried, childless, widowed, or had reputations in their communities for assertiveness and independence. Though most cases were dismissed do to their baseless means and non proof of existing that would prove of any witchcraft. As you will read in the following will be nothing more than proof and story of a grossly example of what can and could happen by means of assumption and an acquisition of no proof for the terrible happenings in the cold colony of Salem in 1692. Witch hunting has been at the forefront of the stage and beyond even before the Salem Witch Trials. It was being established even back in 560 BC when the bible was suppose to have had scripture based facts like Leviticus 20:27 – Aman also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them. (KJV). It was also the “Law of Moses” and the primary history of the Jewish people, were written in the sixth century B.C. by a Jewish writer-whose names we do not seem to know. The passages explain the how evil was not to be accepted but even as today, we as humans have taken those words of scripture to mean something for ourselves and not for the resolution God would have them be. We have misinterpreted greatly the words of God and taken grave steps into creating and establishing law and governed
