The Salem Witch Crisis of 1692


ID : 1771   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic The Salem witch trials didn't take place in a vacuum. Inhabitants of seventeenth-century Massachusetts had a variety of life-and-death issues to cope with, ranging from church politics (at a time when doctrinal differences could get you thrown out of the colony) to the Indian wars (arguably not well handled by the colony's leaders). This course will be based in large part on Mary Beth Norton's history, looking both at the broad political context and the individual lives of accusers and accused in the years leading up to 1692.
