The European Witch-Craze spanned over centuries during the early modern period, resulting in the deaths of thousands across Europe. Most were coerced into “confession” by torture and other means of extracting a “confession” of being a witch and committing maleficium. During this time the actual religion known as Wicca wasn’t…

The Salem Witch Trials has gone down in history as one of the most tragic and egregious abuses of the judicial system. So what started it and what factors played in a role in it? Not what you expect.
The Salem witch trials (1692–93) were a series of investigations and persecutions that caused 19 convicted ‘witches’ to be hanged and many other suspects to be imprisoned in Salem Village in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. They were part of a long story of witch hunts that began in Europe in the 14th century.

Exploded View Sample Pieces Finished Model Free History For Your Report Jamestown Settlement Jamestown, located in Virginia, was the first successful, permanent North American settlement of the English, following seventeen other unsuccessful European colonization attempts. Only one successful European settlement predated Jamestown, the settlement of St. Augustine, Florida, founded by the Spanish in 1565. The story of Jamestown begins in England, circa 1606, when Captain Christopher Newport led the Susan Constant, The Discovery, and The Godspeed on a charter to the New World commissioned by The Virginia Company of London. The first landing in the New World by this expedition occurred in April 1607 at Cape Henry. Further exploration was then made of areas around Chesapeake Bay, and a river that was discovered was names James River, in honor of James I of England. As the exploration continued, Jamestown Island was founded 40 miles inland from the Atlantic on the James River, by Captain Edward Maria Wingfield. This was chosen as a prime location for the English settlement by Wingfield on May 14, 1607. Even though Jamestown Island was free of population by the surrounding Native American tribes, the swampy land on the island was troubled with unsuitable drinking water and insect problems, including mosquitoes. Contrary to popular belief, the Native American tribes surrounding Jamestown Island and the bay area were not one closely-net unit, but rather individual tribes with self-governing policies and methods of living. A leader of one of the tribes, Chief Powhatan, was desiring to assist the settlers, and to join forces with them, so they could work to gain the tools and advancements of other nearby tribes. However, the poor treatment of the Natives by the English became more pronounced, and the English justified their behavior by pointing out that the Natives were pagans, not Christians. Over time, Powhatan discovered the intents by the English to overtake the Natives, which resulted in a war, that ended only when Chief Powhatan agreed to a peace treaty after the kidnapping of his daughter, Pocahontas. The following five years saw the death of many colonists from disease, along with the arrival of more colonists and settlement “experts” from other European countries. Many more deaths continued under the leadership of Captain John Smith; when Smith was forced to return to England, leadership was handed over to George Percy. Percy was unable to successfully manage the tribe or communicate with the Natives regarding food and other important supplies, resulting in the death of over 80% of the population from starvation. Things began to turn around for the Jamestown settlement on June 10, 1610, a day that became known as “The Day of Providence.” On this day Lord De La Warr arrived to the settlement aboard The Deliverance, bringing supplies and settlers to the area. Lord De La Warr's arrival convinced many colonists to stay in the New World. One of these colonists was John Rolfe, who had come to the New World to test the planting of tobacco seeds, but had yet to follow through with his plans. When he remained, he tested the tobacco seeds in the New World's soil, resulting in a the explosion of a crop that would become very important to the settler's future. The tobacco crop allowed Rolfe to become wealthy, and marry Chief Powhatan's daughter, leading to peace between the two groups. This peace was short-lived, however, when Pocahontas died after being in England. The strained relations climaxed on March 22, 1622, in an event that became known as The Indian Massacre. Over 300 English-speakers were murdered and two advanced outposts – one of which was to include a college – were destroyed. Jamestown was also supposed to be destroyed, but was given a short warning, allowing the colonists to be at the ready. Jamestown continued to grow and expand after the massacre, whilst still enduring occasional attacks from the Native tribes. In 1634, under order of King Charles I, the colony area was divided into shires, or “cities” as we know them today, and the first county of the New World was created – James City County in Virginia. As the colonies expanded, little attention was paid to the preservation of Jamestown until 1893, when The Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities stepped in to protect a portion of Jamestown Island. A seawall was built to preserve the site. Thanks to the seawall, the foundations of Fort James were discovered in 1994. The site became a major tourist attraction in 1957, when the Jamestown Festival was held by the Commonwealth of Virginia to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown. While it was not possible to display the actual site of the settlement due to land erosion and rising water levels, a nearby attraction was built as part of the festival and continues to this day. A replica of Fort James, a Native American village, and full-scale replicas of the three ships that were landed on the site can all be found today at Jamestown. © Copyright – Paper Models, Inc. – All Rights Reserved
