Salem Girls

My research topic isn’t very origional…I was going to try to make it more exciting, but there wasn’t many exciting materials to choose from.  It’s going to be about how the girls in the Salem Village were taken advantage of by the townspeople.  It is clear that towards the latter part of the trials, the girls had lost a lot of their followers.  Once they started naming people in far up places, people stopped believing in the girls outcrys.  This is kind of ridiculous considering it tooking the town almost a year to realize that witchcraft wasn’t taking place, and a lot of the people that had been executed were indeed innocent.  I couldn’t imagine living in a world like this, where a simple pointed finger in your direction could determine your guilt.
