Descripción
In 17th century Europe, it is said that thousands of women burned at the stake accused of witchcraft after being subjected to horrible tortures.
Around 1620, the first settlers from England and the Netherlands arrived in the lands of New England. Known as the Pilgrim Fathers, they founded the first colonies such as Connecticut, Boston, and Springfield.
In those lands, where the Mohican, Pocomtuc or Massachusetts Indians lived, there were about twenty cases of witchcraft, although the most remembered, cruel and shocking was the one that took place in the town of Salem, in the English colony of Massachusetts.
In this book, you will discover:
- The truth and legend behind the Salem cases.
- Life in Colonial New England.
- Causes that led to the Salem trials.
- Origins of collective hysteria in Salem and its surroundings.
- First executions and the legacy of Salem in popular history.
- And much more...
Legal documents and testimonies from the time establish that there were a number of citizens who did not believe in witchcraft, but the majority -both in the New England colonies and in the English colonies of the center and south- certainly did.
