Historical Component:
- New Englanders believed that Puritans believed that the Indians were the devil worshipers. They also thought that America was the devil's world. Sir William Phips didn't try to stop the Salem Witch trials, nor was he present during them either. It was found that he was supposedly not there but found later he was, in fact, present. People believe that the trials were apart of a political scandal. The local government deceived the town people into gaining power.
- From June-September of 1692, 19 men and women were convicted of witchcraft. Their punishment was hanging to death. Dozens went to jail with no trial on the accusation, and hundreds accused. The first three people to be charged were Tituba, Sarah Good, and Sarah Osborn.
