The Salem Witch Trials. So that's what they were going to be discussing about. Sander tried to recall what he had read in the textbooks on the subject. He had visited Salem once and took one of their tours. The tour guide told them the story on what happened there during that period.

Relying on his memory from what he read and what he was told during the guide, Sander raised his hand.

"Even though it was believed that those arrested were believed to be involved in witchcraft and sorcery, it really wasn't the case. Even those who objected to the persecutions and voiced skepticism about the truth of the girl's accusations were also arrested." Sander paused as he tried to recall some of the names of the people.

Then two names popped into his mind, and he continued, "The arrest of Martha Corey and Rebecca Nurse caused major unrest in the community because both Martha and Rebecca were devout members of the church they worshipped in. So many believed that there was no way, they would be connected with witchcraft in any way," Sander concluded his answer.
