The Puritans led their own religious ways from the Church of England. They thought that the Church of England was more about politcal struggles and not about God and his way. They tried to "purfiy" their own lives and God's way. Hence the name Puritans.
The video on the left talks about the general overview of the history of Puritans. It says that Puritans are the ancestors to over eight million Americans.
Another video on the left talks about the general history of the Salem Witch Trials. It talks about who was in it, how it happend, why it happen, and the differents between the Red Scare in the 1950's.
The Salem Witch Trials were because the Puritans thought that something was wrong with the Betty Paris and Abigal Williams because the doctor couldn't find anything wrong with them physicaly. So obvisouly something must be wrong mentally. One of the women named Sarah Osborne was charged with witchery ties because she didn't go to church enough. And not going to church regualary it was known as a Puritan Sin.
