The Salem Witch Trials

The witch trials started june 10, and ended on september 22. It ended because of this one person saying thats enough of this nonsense.

I do not think it was resolved fairly because if you confess to witchcraft you mäy or may not die, and if you denied it you die.

5. Discuss how the witch trials came to an end in Salem and what their consequences were. In your view, were matters resolved fairly?

Hysteria had the role in the Salem witch trials of making someone act crazy. Then the mass hysteria grew and spread to more and more people getting mass hysteria. The mass hysteria made people hallucinate and have uncontrollable muscle spasms.

4. Brainstorm and discuss more recent events that you might label as "witch hunts."

Examine if attitudes toward Muslim Americans were in fact more negative than attitudes expressed toward individuals who were unspecified.

I would label that the people blame all muslims for the attack on September, 11 ,2001 as a witch hunt.
