Finished the last of our Puritan Court cases today - gossipping - and carried out our punishments swiftly - the stocks, ducking stool, etc... Before we move on to the growth of the colonies, we must take a look at the curious and sad event that took place in the Massachusetts Bay colony in the late 1600's. This was the Salem Witch trials. Mr. M introduced the subject and then we watched a History Channel video (about 20 minutes worth) and had discussion at the end of class. Scary!
