Essential Questions Why did the Salem Witch Trials occur? Why does mass hysteria occur?

Hysteria- (noun)- behavior exhibiting overwhelming or unmanageable fear or emotional excess (Merriam-Webster)

Our Goal Analyze and interpret primary and secondary source documents in order to come up with our own theory as to why the Salem Witch Trials occurred. – Historians are still debating this

Historical Thinking Skills Contextualization – Connecting developments to specific circumstances Historical argumentation and use of evidence

“A Brief History of the Salem Witch Trials” Subtitle: “One town’s strange journey from paranoia to pardon.” How does this help us understand the author’s point of view of the Salem Witch Trials?

What do we know? King William’s War; Rev. Samuel Parris becomes minister of Salem Jan Elizabeth Parris (9), Abigail Williams (11) and Ann Putnam (11) begin having unexplained fits Mar Girls accuse Tituba, Sarah Good and Sarah Osborne May Governor Phipps establishes Special Court of Oyer (to hear)

June First accused witch, Bridget Bishop is executed Oct Increase Mather (President of Harvard) denounces the use of spectral evidence. – -Gov. Phipps prohibits further arrests and disbands the special court May Gov. Phipps pardons all accused who are still in prison

Why did this occur? Let’s begin analyzing our clues.
