Pełny opis

This book explores the Salem witch trials of 1692 by examining their origins in a fear-driven Puritan settlement, the key events that turned childhood affliction into mass accusation, and the long-term effects of a crisis that claimed twenty-five lives and reshaped how history understands the danger of unchecked suspicion.

Beginning with two young girls in a minister's household and ending with a village forever changed, this account traces the specific chain of decisions, beliefs, and fears that allowed neighbor to accuse neighbor across a single, devastating year. Drawing on the documented historical record, it follows the accused from Salem's most vulnerable residents to its most respected citizens, and asks what made an entire community turn against itself so completely, and so fast.

Readers interested in colonial American history, the psychology of mass panic, and the origins of due process will find a clear, carefully sourced narrative that separates documented fact from popular myth throughout.
