Salem Witch Trials Blog Response #1

     If I was accused of being a witch in Salem, I would flee. I'm sure this is not the right answer, but I'd give it a go. Of course, I have a modern view on this issue and cannot see why you couldn't just pack up and leave. Is it for your namesake? Are there not other towns nearby? Is it dangerous outside of town? I'm not sure, but I would flee Salem. Here are my reasons. First, it would be very unlikely that anyone would come after me. They wouldn't want to leave town. Next, I probably wouldn't be rich in Salem or have much of a family, so I wouldn't have anything to leave behind. Last, I like the wilderness and could probably survive until I made it to the next town over. I think that fleeing would be my option.
