None!

Quickwrite: Using your notes about the Salem Witch Trials and the article, America's History of Fear", make a comparison between The Puritans and Americans today. How are we similar? How are we different? Have we changed as a society? Or are we still inherently fearful? Give examples from your notes and the article to prove your point.
