What Are The Effects Of The Salem Witch Trials

As England pushed religion to the side and began to focus more on politics the puritans still valued their religious views, they saw the change that was taking place so they flee from their mother land seeking to purify their beliefs once more. The Salem witch trials were a significant part of history because it showed the government that religious can’t be mixed with social and political rights because of the strict or tight interpretation it provides. The trials were run by multiple factors such as fear from accusation, a hunger for power or grater wealth, the strict interpretation of the bible set by people who ran away from strict ruling which is quite ironic and also historians provided their own arguments to the effects of the witch
The religious authorities who were also the people who ran Salem were normal people who are in search of higher power which was a factor that withheld the trials and got people killed – weak leadership. The puritans did not merely separate from the Church of England, but were finding a way to try to purify it from sinful gained habits. The puritans running away from England's polluted rule wasn't necessarily a good thing. Because wherever they settled they became a dominant adversary and all power was given to religious authorities, which in turn lead to a strict environment. People were being forced to do jobs and only do things that were considered right according to the word of god. This led to people living in fear trying not be predestined or damned for all eternity. Because these religious authorities were given power they tend to overuse it base on their own terms. This is a controversial argument because people might have other ideas in there head. One example was Reverend Samuel Paris who was known for his rigid ways and his greedy nature. Since he was the first ordained minister he had a little respect but the way him and his family acted was strange, quarrel started in his home and spread through Salem. This was quiet obvious though you can’t give a baby $100 and expect them to not use it on candy it’s unethical. Ministers were being summoned to help figure out what was wrong with the girls, later on they heard that in the village similar entities were going on which made the situation worse. So in an effort to save themselves from being persecuted for being witches when asked what had done this to them they blamed of course the slave, Tituba, Mary Osborn, and Sarah good, who had pretenses similar to a witches, which in fact made them proper suspect for the occasion.
