The Salem witch trials

[@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149]

That guy who proposed the "maybe they're not witches" idea was later crushed to death for being a witch.

[@samuelmellars7855]

For those who don't already know, this is how/why he got crushed: "How do you plead?" "Get bent" "If you don't enter a plea, we will squish you until you do. Bailiff, squish this man!" *some squishing later* "How do you plead" "Get bent, add more weight" *more squishing* "How do you plead?" "More. Weight." By not entering a plea, his lands weren't forfit (which would happen if he was found guilty - the whole point of these trials, in some peopes opinion, was taking land/property) and his children were able to inherit his estate.

[@no3namesalike]

​@@samuelmellars7855 Yeah, property disputes were a major factor in some witch hunts. A distant ancestor of mine was drowned as a witch in Shropshire, England, and from what we can gather from the records available, it was over ownership of a pub and inn. Mary Lacye married into a family with three brothers (or possibly two brothers and an uncle), all of wnom had a stake in the family inn/pub. One brother decided that didn't work for him and accused his sisters-in-law, Mary and Elizabeth, and eventually his brothers as well, of witchcraft. Elizabeth and her husband (the accuser's own brother) were tried and killed via dunking stool in the local pond, and then Mary was arrested and drowned. Ironically, drowning proved that you weren't a witch, so there is a record of the town providing a small sum of money to have her quietly buried in the local churchyard--a sort of "whoops, our bad." Mary's husband Thomas took a look at his situation, grabbed their 2 year old son and wisely got the f*** out of there, and that's how one of my alleged ancestors got to America.

The thing that started the witch trials was actually during a blizzard in Salem, two girls started acting very strange, and they claimed that their housekeeper had cursed them. Then a chain of children acting strange and blaming random women.

[@hyun5985]

Nope. *those are not facts.* 😂 Well I know this is just a joke and I enjoyed it, but it seems like many people actually think what she said out of ignorance is right. So I will go spittn' some facts and you can read my comment if you're interested.😉 Witch hunt wasn't caused by the society's fear of women's independence or because women were specifically regarded as objects whereas men weren't. First of all, *women at that time didn't even want independence.* The first time when a very few number of women preferred independence to female privileges was around 1800 in France and it was in the early 20th century when women's rights movements became meaningful to society. And since witch hunt happened since the medieval age, witch hunt was *absolutely irrelevant of independence of women. like, at all.* Most women at that time(even until the early 20th century) preferred to keep their privileges such as protection and financial support from men, rather than exposing themselves to life-threatening threats. Don't think women always believed in throwing away their female privileges and get independence from men. Second, *The 'witches' were not women. It was more like devil hunt.* It might sound quite weird, but the witch hunt was not targeted on women. In Europe, 20% of witch hunt victims were men. In some countries or regions, men were targeted even more than women. 60% of victims in Estonia, 66%(it says two-third) of victims in Moscow, and 92% of victims in Iceland were men. So, witch hunt was not caused by the fact women had less rights than men. *Gender was not important in witch hunt.* And this must be very easy for you to understand if you know that *medieval people in Europe never believed that only women can be possesed by devils.* Then why did witch hunt happen? *Witch hunt happened mainly because* of famine(due to temperature swift in Europe), lack of scientific knowledge(They thought sourcery existed), power game between the Catholic church and the Protestant church.

[@hyun5985]

Oh, now I see that she was specifically talking about Salem witch trial that took place in 1692. Even in that case, her argument is wrong, because there were also men who were executed and, again, there were no women't rights movement at that time.

As someone who just had to write an essay in university on the witch trials in Salem I can say this is 100% historically accurate.

[@lesacapatate2949]

Hm, er, what? I’ve studied it in depth in English legal history and we saw that it was clearly rooted in the racist fear of the native nanny’s believes. Half of the accused were somehow linked with Judaism and were accused of false belief for this reason!

Oh those Christians!!!! They have been very direspectful to many cultures and religions as well as to people who basically have a different beliefs from them. They are definitely bringing a bad name to themselves. And of course there are also ones who are more mature, understanding, and look into something before making a judgement. However, there are a little population of those people compared to the unruly (they believe they aren't) ones.

As a Christian, we don’t claim them.

There’s still men who have that issue today and want to take our rights away… a lot of men realize that they aren’t shit and they don’t want to become a better person. They just want to see stuff their way even though there’s a huge history of men causing so many issues… they blame everything on us when it’s them& always has been. Woman haven’t been able to do shit until 100 years ago and even then we couldn’t do much and we still have a bunch of laws on us but not 1 on them …

Women were most of the accusers

[@shadowwolflycan6176]

​@@hamlet8179 That's because they were also part of the accused, and the only way to survive was to confess and accuse others. So most accusers were women because women were the most accused in the first place. Kinda like a cycle. Unless you mean only the children, in which case yeah you're right.

[@connortg5]

friendly reminder that one of the main trial methods was dropping them in a "blessed" lake, tied up. if they floated, the water was rejecting them for being servants of satan and they were killed if they sank, the water was accepting them for being followers of god... and they drowned before they could be saved

If you did confess to being a witch they would let you live?? Like what 😭

[@noelrobertson4968]

No you still die, but your soul would be repented and allowed to enter heaven. So in other words, your soul would live but your body would hang to death.

[@Tashishi0]

It (could be) interpreted as a sign of remorse and a desire to repent. To maintain innocence and fight was to continue "lying" and unrepentant. Not sure that those who did confess to witchcraft had good lives after their repentance, but they were alive.

I was really hoping for a reference to the end of the trials where the wife of a mayor or governor or something got accused and the guy basically made them stop doing the witch trials.

@@KindomChums majority of the accusations that was about witchcraft were intentional for women’s punishments. If you’re trying to state that it was not the men - but the women, then i apologize to tell you this, but that’s false. And if you want to talk about 'sexism issues’ , then i also want to tell you that since 1692 when it came to sexism, male was always the more ‘superior’ sex.

Fun fact, men back then were also seen as witches, but misogynistic men said that women were corrupted easily, though both gender were hanged for witchcraft. Women were just more commonly hanged.

[@ezra5737]

You need not state these things as facts without knowing. The men who were hung were the ones who didnt want to participate in the trials, or the ones who stood up for their wives, or the ones who wronged someone else in the town. It was 12 out of 35 men hung. But not for the reasons of being a witch. They didnt actually believe they were witches. They just turned on them for those reasons.
