Witchcraft in Early North America

In contemporary America, ideas of magic, witch and magic are considered ridiculous. Acceptance of coincidence, accusation of possession, and incitement went extinct. But when North America was first colonized by Europeans, the fear of magic was too realistic. "Early North American Witchcraft" by Alison Games explains the influence of Europeans to Native American and vice versa. With the development for decades, the concept of magic in Spain and the United Kingdom has also changed.

In the early days of modern Europe, a large moral panic about magic attacked Europe and then attacked North European colonies in Europe. During this period, the malicious devil witch was widely claimed to be an organizational threat to the Christian world. As a result, tens of thousands of women were prosecuted for witchcraft and executed through the witch trials of the early modern era (15th - 18th centuries). The death penalty is widely used, but the voice of reform is not known. Moses Maimonides, a Jewish law scholar in the 12th century stated as follows. When the crime of the accused is executed in a way that is less than absolute certainty, the burden of evidence will decrease until conviction is given based only on "the judgment of the judge".

When the British arrived they stimulated the Indian population and a decline in Africa and European immigrants.
