Religion and gender both played a huge role during the Salem Witch Trials in the seventeenth century, as religion was one of the major driving forces behind the trials as Samuel Parris’ sermons about the devil made people paranoid and helped spreading the accusations. The majority of the accusers were females. This showed that they had some sort of power in the community, and that they were not completely dominated by males.…
