How was the puritan church involved in the salem witch trials of the 1690s?

These guys basically plucked from a handful of "sinful wrongdoers" that they believed were to be punished by their own god, and yet took things into their hands. They'd accuse any woman as of being a witch. A servant girl, a sick old lady married to her servant, a homeless begger. And so forth. They played the game telephone and spread lies about anyone and everyone resulting in innocents dying.

If i’m not mistaken your answer should be the freemen’s bureau started them. i really hope i could ! good luck

River valleys were good places for hunting and fishing.
