Happy Halloween! Today we are going to learn a little about the Salem Witch Trials, where mass hysteria and a couple mean kids caused the death of over 20 people. Is there anything more Halloween-like than that? Unfortunately real people suffered for things we tend to enjoy, the confluence of life and death.
As you watch try to identify what caused the trials to begin and what caused them to end.Friday we will be traveling to Jefferson City to visit the state capitol and the now closed state penitentiary.
Let's first watch this video on the history of the building. If you pay attention you may be able to answer some of the tour guide's questions and look really smart!![]() |
