Essay, Research Paper: 3 Soverigns For Sara

Sarah Osburn wanted to clear her sisters' names of being accused of
witch craft. So she went to a group of Judges, She gave them all kinds of
different pieces of evidence Some of the evidece was that all of the accused
and hanged were land owners and there sons were almost eligible to vote
and make other important decisions. She also presented them with a map of
all the land boundaries. She did this to show that most people where
accused over land. So this was pointless.
Some of the accused did confess because the ones who confessed
were not hanged or pressed. One person who confessed was Dossy because
her mother told her no mater what confess to them. How ever some people
Just wouldn't confess. One was Sara Osburn, who was hanged. In another
case Gilis Cory would not confess so he was pressed to death. I really think
that was pointless cause what did it mater if they confessed or not. Well
they had a different theory. Witch was that if someone confess of there sin
they could be cleansed. Another person who took this way was the real
guilty one Titaba she confessed and was set free.
These pointless witch trails finally stopped when the minister higher
then Samual Paris decided spectral evidence could not be use alone to
conduct these pointless trails. I think that the stupidest punishment was
excommunication because I don't think some man can tell God who he can
and can not communicate with. I also think that it was really sad that all
these people had to lose there lives over nothing. Although Anne Putman
Jr. apologized I don't think that was good enough. I think she should have
had to pay some kind of big fine and give up some of her land. But over all
I think that this was a really good movie even thought it was sad.
