Causes of Salem Witch Trials
Cause of Salem Witch Trials There are many beliefs up to the cause of the Salem witch trials. ... I happen to believe that these witch trials all occurred because of the puritan beliefs and greed. ... This is why it was so easy for the Puritan people to believe in such outrageous stories of the young Salem girls. However, what I really thought caused the start of these witch trials is just the silliness of young girls trying to see what’s in store for the future with the help of a slave Tituba. ... Therefore, accusations of Witchcraft within the village of Salem began to occur. ... Because there was no other explanation of this unusual behavior, it was easy for the adults in Salem to believe that one had put some sort of spell upon these girls.
