Witch Hunt in Salem: Still Relevant Today?

Documentary discussing the witch trials that occurred in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. The community of pious Puritans in New England believed that the devil was among them and many innocent people were accused of witchcraft and faced persecution. The religious madness ultimately led to many deaths and left the community in Salem riddled with guilt. The video explores the strict religious beliefs of the Puritans and how it informed every aspect of their lives, leading to fear and mistrust of anything foreign or unknown. The events of Salem still have relevance today and it's important to keep talking about them in order to learn from the past.

The way people where treated back then was extremely cruel and unkind and should never be forgotten

[@call_in_sick]

Nothing has really changed. Apart from the aesthetics. We’re still as nasty, vile, and conspiratorial.

Living in the area of Salem I have heard of and been to the Salem Witch museum . And a few other associated places . It was a real thing , that scared the locals . It was a shame that the power over people’s lives was so concentrated in a few individuals .

HISTORY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO US TODAY! BEING THE HISTORIAN I AM, THESE EVENTS WERE TRULY AMAZING AND UNFORGETTABLE! REMEMBER: I RATHER LEARN FROM TRAGIC HISTORY, THAN TO RUN FROM IT!

It’s a sad commentary on 2023 that we still have to worry about this happening.

Ever thought they were cursed by the spirits of the lands for the take over and murders of the native lands !!!

[@sheilacoulton775]

This had nor has had anything to do with native lands,some natives think the land is haunted because of the way it was taken and forever forbidden by the government of that time.Please do some research because this is not the place to start a debate that can turn ugly and be respectful to the channel and the commenters ,misleading them will only result in KZbin banning you.

@@sweets1964s Where would you be if it weren't for males? If you think the future is female, then we as a planet are doomed. Be realistic. Females are not 'sugar and spice, and everything nice.' I'm no kid anymore, and the older I get, the more I realize that women can be just as toxic as men, and often worse. If we had women in charge of everything, we would be worse off than we are now.

"Time for peace" Crime is at an all time high, people are burned at the stake for not agreeing with the far-left and the LGBT cult, but yes, preach about peace 😂
