I would be terrified to live in the days of "The Crucible". Everyone was extremely paranoid, and the days before seperation of church and state were very scary. I was appalled by the things I read and how the girls took control of everyone around them.
They fed everyone such ridiculus lies, and in the name of religion the court believed them. I think about 29 people were killed during the Salem Witch trials, and all the "hard evidence" they had were a bunch of young girls "crying out" that someone had used their spirit to try and kill them.
It truely was one of the most embarrasing and darkest times of human history.
