Colonial Time Period (Puritanism) Get ready for your vocab quiz After, taking notes on Puritanism

Colonial Time Period (Puritanism) 1620–1750 Writing styles Writers wrote in Puritan Plain Style using simple, direct language to discuss everyday objects and feelings Writing that brought home a full awareness of the importance of worshipping God and of the spiritual dangers that the soul faced on Earth

Puritan Beliefs WORK AND PRAY!!!! Believed in a Covenant with God and with each other to follow moral codes in pursuit of eternal life Believed in Predestination (only the elect would be saved) Believed God and Satan were active presences in the natural world

Believed Native Americans were heathens and the woods and forests full of demons Believed in mandatory attendance at church Believed that people were expected to work hard and repress emotions and opinions

Read natural signs to see God’s will or Satan’s tricks (when a neighbor’s crop failed or a child became sick, saw it as God’s will and did not help) Believed Satan selected the “weakest”—women, children and the insane to carry out his work. Believed those who followed Satan were considered witches Punished witchcraft by death

Witch Trials in Europe As early as 1450, there were witch hunts all over Europe Many thousands were hanged, drowned or burned at the stake Women were viewed as “imperfect” as they were formed from a man’s rib whereas men were the privileged sex (Christ--a male) Popular view of women was source of witch hunt hysteria…seen as inherently evil and sexual—thus targets for the devil

Salem (Boston) Witch Trials Possibly the single, most studied event in colonial American history Fear of magic and witchcraft was common in New England, as it had been in Europe Over 100 alleged witches had been tried and hanged in New England during the 1600s In early 1692, the witch hunt hysteria began in Salem

From early spring to September 1692, over 150 “witches” were taken into custody 19 men and women refused to confess and were hanged on Gallows Hill One man was pressed to death under stones Four died in jail
