How does Puritan play a role in the Salem Witch Trial?

Answer 1

Answer

Puritan played a very crucial role in the Salem Witch Trials and greatly influenced through both indirect and direct ways. The laws on which the trials were based off were provided by the Puritan, though they tested the authenticity of the same. The Puritan impacted the trial from the repentance of the accused to the satanic mindsets of the influencers, this shows how much control they had on the trials. Puritanism was one of the most prevalent religions throughout the colonies of Salem Village. The level of corruption and hypocrisy is also seen in the church throughout the Salem Witch Trials.
