  1. Sept. 23, 2013 Warm-up Objective Read and annotate “The Witchcraft Trials.” Consider the following as you read: • How did the Salem witchcraft trials reflect attitudes toward women and the status of women in colonial New England? • Why were colonial New Englanders willing to believe accusations of witchcraft about their fellow colonists? • Is there a contemporary comparison to be made? • Why do we still study this? • Students will discuss the significance of the Salem Witch Trials and take notes on the First Great Awakening, The Enlightenment, and Stono Rebellion • Warm-up: Witchcraft: Read & Discuss • Check homework • Notes Agenda

  2. Salem witch trials: 1692 The infamous Salem witch trials began during the spring of 1692, after a group of young girls in Salem Village, Massachusetts, claimed to be possessed by the devil and accused several local women of witchcraft. As a wave of hysteria spread throughout colonial Massachusetts, a special court convened in Salem to hear the cases; the first convicted witch, Bridget Bishop, was hanged that June. Eighteen others followed Bishop to Salem's Gallows Hill, while some 150 more men, women and children were accused over the next several months. By September 1692, the hysteria had begun to abate and public opinion turned against the trials. Though the Massachusetts General Court later annulled guilty verdicts against accused witches and granted indemnities to their families, bitterness lingered in the community, and the painful legacy of the Salem witch trials would endure for centuries.
