Beschreibung
In 1692, a small town in Massachusetts was swept up in fear. Neighbors turned against neighbors. Friends became enemies. Dozens of people were accused of practicing witchcraft, and before it was over, innocent lives were lost. But how did it happen? Why did people believe the unbelievable? And what can we learn from it today?
This book takes young readers deep into one of the strangest and most important events in American history. Through gripping storytelling and real historical details, it explores the panic that spread through Salem, the people who stood accused, and the flawed trials that led to terrible consequences. Along the way, it answers big questions: What made people so afraid? Could something like this happen again? How can we make sure justice and fairness are protected in the future?
Packed with fascinating facts, strange superstitions, and lessons that still matter today, this book brings the past to life in a way that's both engaging and thought-provoking. Perfect for curious minds, history lovers, and anyone who has ever wondered how fear can change the course of history, this is a story of justice, courage, and the power of asking questions.
