The entire event was chaos, and, obviously, none of them were really witches considering the fact that witchcraft is nonexistent. Moving right along, the townsfolk in The Crucible were…

The time of the Anglo-Saxons was one of blood and ultimate gore as they tore through history with a vengeance, a perfect example of this is the Danish epic Beowulf.

Constitution. We walk in peaceful marches like the March for Life and the Women's March to show our beliefs in our rights. So many people both in the present and past have used peaceful protest to display their beliefs. For example, Rosa Sparks, a woman who stood for equal rights for all people, set an example by not moving to the back of the bus.
