In this activity, you will learn more about three individuals who played an important role in the Salem witch trials—Cotton Mather, Sarah Good, and Anne Putnam. You will read a brief biography about each person and some primary source information related to each person. You will also answer a few questions to evaluate the credibility of the information in each source.


Part A

Cotton Mather was a powerful Boston clergyman whose ideas about witchcraft influenced many of the judges at the trials. You can read this article to learn more about the life of Cotton Mather.


Primary resource: In 1689, Mather published Memorable Providences, Relating to Witchcraft and Possessions, an account of a witchcraft case in Boston. Read an excerpt from the document to get an idea of what Mather thought about witchcraft.


Mather calls himself an eyewitness to the event. Do you think eyewitness accounts are always believable? Why or why not? Write your answer in 50 to 75 words.

Part B
Sarah Good came from a poor family in Salem. She was one of the first people to be accused and tried for witchcraft. You can read this article to learn more about Sarah Good.

Primary Source: On March 1, 1692, Good was examined on the witness stand by the minister John Hathorne. Read this partial transcript of the trial. Note that in the transcript, H stands for John Hathorne and G stands for Sarah Good. Once you are done reading, answer the following question:

During the trial, Hathorne repeated many of his questions several times. Why do you think he did that? What effect do you think it had on Sarah Good? Write a brief explanation supporting your opinion in 50 to 75 words.

Part C
Anne Putnam was one of the first girls in Salem to accuse people of witchcraft. You can read this article to learn more about Anne Putnam.

Primary source: In 1706, Anne made a public apology for her role in the trials. She was the only accuser to do so. Read this confession that Anne read out loud in the church. Once you are done, answer the question below:

Why do you think Anne Putnam claims she was deluded by Satan? Do you think she takes full responsibility for her actions? Why or why not? Write a brief answer to support your opinion in 50 to 75 words.

Answer 1

Answer:

Here's your answer

1. Anne Putnam claims she was deluded by satan because she wanted the claims of her being a witch to end. She didn't assume liability for her action and rather accused satan all together for the individuals of Salem to end their allegations. She was never a witch, but only a woman who wanted to be free of the harsh claims put against her.

Hope it helps you
