The Salem Witch Trials, Part 1
Life in the American state of Massachusetts during the 1600s was filled with challenges, hardships, and for some - opportunity. Seeking religious freedom, many Puritans travelled over rough waters to create a new life in a little town outside Boston called Salem. Once there, the Puritan’s lives revolved around family, work, and most of all - religion. It was this along with colonial conflicts that resulted in accusations of witchcraft, and death.
