During the year of 1685, times grew increasingly tough for the Massachusetts citizens. Food and drink became scarce, and to add on top of that the bay colony lost its charter granting independence. One year later, King James II, realizing that a chance to recapture lost territory was presented to him, sent one of his finest soldiers, Edmund Andros, to rule over the Puritans by giving him absolute authority to govern Massachusetts and New England in its entirety. The Puritans nonviolently revolted and shunned Andros from the colony. They later sent Increase Mather, minister of Boston’s Second Church, to recover the old charter.
Salem Witch Trials DBQ During the late 1600s continuing in the early 1700s Salem, Massachusetts was faced with a mounting hysteria over the probability of witches living among them. The dishonorable Salem witch trials began during the spring of 1692. This Hysteria led Massachusetts colonists to try, convict, and execute numerous individuals on behalf of the capital crime of witchcraft; many of which were said to be triggered due to the economic, social and religious aspects arising at the time. There is truly no one cause for the actions that took place from end to end the Salem witch trials. A mixture of diverse events and factors assisted the commencement of the trials.
As colonial Massachusetts began to recuperate from the recent King Philip's War, which ravaged though the majority of New England, another event was just around the corner. In the year of 1692 village minister Samuel Parris's daughter Betty and niece Abigail had contracted some sort of odd illness that numerous doctors could not categorize as a specific illness or disease. As many doctors came through the town of Salem to take a look at the girls, one doctor boldly made the assumption the some type of witchcraft was responsible for these girls' current state. It was due to this assumption that the witch hunt had begun, and 178 Massachusetts citizens were accused of using witchcraft or being a witch (Davidson & Lytle 42). Of these over 178 citizens three out of four were female, which made this witch hunt a gender issue (Davidson & Lytle 42).

The Salem Witch Trials Brittany Johnson Marc Romanelli Monday April 8, 2013 The Salem Witch Trials (Rough Draft) Fear of Devil-worshipping and witchcraft swept through Salem, Massachusetts, like a plague. During the years of 1692 and 1693, more than 200 people—men, women, and even children—were accused of witchcraft (Blumberg). Words of friends, neighbors, and even complete strangers put many people's lives in danger. Nineteen people were hanged, one person pressed to death, and four known deaths occurred in prison.

While winter wore on, the girls began to show signs of odd sicknesses. When the village doctor called and could find nothing physically wrong with the girls, he concluded that the evil hand was on them. Mr. Parris begged the affected girls to name the witches, and so Elizabeth blurted out the name of Tituba and other names such as Sarah Good, a despised pipe-smoking beggar, and Sarah Osborne, who had scandalized the village by living openly with a man before marriage. In seven months time, seven men and thirteen women were executed for practicing witch craft, many on the basis of the testimony of ghosts and specters. Those who would not confess were killed and Tituba was spared and sold by the Parrises.

Chicago's murder rate rose relative to other large cities and its five neighboring Illinois counties.”( Lott, 2011) It is clear that banning guns is not an effective method to minimize crime rates compared to owning guns.
