Puritan Board Freshman
Of course, our Calvinist predecessors often get this event brought up as a black smear upon their name, especially Mather. My question is, how much of a part did the Puritans play in this event? It seems to me that they were a particularly level headed sort of people, from what I have read, and not particularly disposed to mass hysteria. I haven't read anything that explores the topic of their relationship to the Salem Trials. Can anyone help me here?
