Early Puritans and Selem witch trails

I learned that the Protestant Church was the cornerstone of 17th century for the Puritans. The Puritans came over from England for a better religion. In the Salem witch trails 19 men and women were convicted witchcraft. they all were sent to be hung. The Salem witch Trails was in the town of Salem in 1692. The warrent for their arrest was came out on April 4th 1692. They all did their witchcraft in one house that they called the "Witch House."

What I've Learned...

The thing I've learned throughout all the stories we've read there are many rituals. Here is a picture of the prilgrams have thanksgiving in their own ritual way.









In the the Man to send Rain Clouds i learned that everybody celebrates the death of a person different. Everytbody believes their way is right. Here is a picture of native religion as it was native religion that was the conflict in the story. Religion is a major conflict in history.

















In the way to Rainy Mountain the Kiowas were some of the finest horsemen in the world and their main conflict was that they had to surrender at Fort Sill. This is a picture of Fort Sill Cemetery.







The Kiowas did the Sun Dance to honor the sun god. This is another example of how different religions and native people do different things. Why we can worship God they do too but just a different God. God of the sun. This is a picture of a Kiowa doing the Sun Dance.







From Of Plymouth Plantation they had to find their own food and hunt. 2 to 3 people died each day. Today there are many people around the would that have to find food and starve just like the indians and pilgrams did back then. History repeats itself and we can learn from it. Starving people are still today. Here is a picture of the starving idians and pilgrams.
