The Massachusetts of 1692 was a very different one to the state we know today. Populated by colonists, many of them a generation or less from life in an England bathed in religious turmoil, Massachusetts was not the safe haven that the fleeing Puritans had hoped it would be. Persecuted for their faith in Europe, the Puritans had pictured a kind of utopia founded on biblical principles. They saw the New World as a new beginning, a kind of second chance for humanity. It would be only 72 years after the arrival of the Mayflower that the events in Salem would make it blatantly obvious that humanity had already blown it again.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This is not the story of the trials. This is the story of its people. This is not an attempt to explain the events of 1692. It is an attempt to bring to life the victims who died so unjustly. In this book, we will walk side by side with the destitute Sarah Good as she realizes that after having lost all she owns, her reputation, her baby, and even her life will still be taken from her. We stand at the bar with Rebecca Nurse, a sweet little old lady who is sentenced to hang for what she must have perceived to be the most heinous of crimes. We witness George Burroughs at the gallows, a former minister now condemned to die for his supposed alliance with Satan, as he delivers a speech so stirring that it takes quick thinking from his enemies to prevent the crowd from rushing forth to cut him down. We feel our own breaths catching as we watch the cruel and greedy Sheriff George Corwin piling rocks onto the fragile eighty-year-old body of Giles Corey, who is determined to die without entering a plea so that his sons will still get the inheritance he promised them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e We will walk through this history in the footprints of those who suffered the hardest in it. The Salem witch hunt and trials killed many and ruined the lives of countless others. And this is their story.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Salem Witch Hunt: A Captivating Guide to the Hunt and Trials of People Accused of Witchcraft in Colonial Massachusetts\u003c\/em\u003e, you will discover topics such as\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWitches in Europe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSalem\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrange Afflictions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Affliction of Elizabeth Hubbard\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Confession of Tituba\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFuel on the Fire\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Madness Intensifies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Reverend in League with the Devil\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe First Casualty\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHanging\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Bid for Mercy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Reverend Hangs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCrushed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEight Innocent Firebrands\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGlimmers of Sense\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNot Guilty\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Last Casualty\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLife After the Trials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Second Salem\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRemembering Salem\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo if you want to learn more about the Salem Witch Hunt, scroll up and click the \"add to cart\" button \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 02, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978219815213,"sku":"9781647480011","price":30.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/cU1vbWF5Y25TL2hmSlpQcS9rZlUvdz09.webp?v=1775801090","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-salem-witch-hunt-a-captivating-guide-to-the-hunt-and-trials-of-people-accused-of-witchcraft-in-colonial-massachusetts-hardcover","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
