Puritans & The Quest For Religious Freedom In America : 5 pages in length.
Like so many other groups who sought a better life, the Puritans created a new existence in America different from what they had known in England. The year was 1620 when the Puritans, an assembly of religious Pilgrims who were persecuted for their beliefs, made their way to the United States in an effort to separate themselves from religious oppression. Their goal was to find a land where they were free to practice their beliefs without the constant torment, and America was just the place for which they were searching. However, when they arrived, they turned into the very element of persecution from which they escaped; not only did they segregated their religion, but they also refused to allow other groups attain the same religious freedom they, too, had so badly sought. The writer discusses the double standard of religious freedom and the Puritans. Bibliography lists 4 sources. Purquest.wps

Why Accusations Of Witchcraft Occurred In Colonial New England : 5 pages in length. For contemporary society, it seems a bit difficult to believe some of what transpired in centuries gone by. One such memorable flicker on America's timeline is that of the witch hunts of colonial New England. Men, women and even children, who were branded worshippers of Satan and witchcraft, were deemed a horrid threat to society; in an attempt to rid the town of their presence, presumed devotees of the devil were put to death. Why was this the case when there was little if any proof of this being the truth? There were a great many reasons, but none so powerful as the threat of female independence had at that time. The writer discusses why the fear of women's emancipation was the foremost reason for the colonial New England witch hunts. Bibliography lists 4 sources. Wichcrft.wps
