Why Accusations Of Witchcraft Occurred In Colonial New
England : 5 pages in length. For contemporary society, it
seems a bit difficult to believe some of what transpired in
centuries gone by. One such memorable flicker on
America's timeline is that of the witch hunts of colonial New
England. Men, women and even children, who were branded
worshippers of Satan and witchcraft, were deemed a horrid
threat to society; in an attempt to rid the town of their
presence, presumed devotees of the devil were put to death.
Why was this the case when there was little if any proof of
this being the truth? There were a great many reasons, but
none so powerful as the threat of female independence had at
that time. The writer discusses why the fear of women's
emancipation was the foremost reason for the colonial New
England witch hunts. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
