The witch trials started not too long after the Pilgrims first arrived, just 70 years before.

So either way, they were going to die. I read the wikipedia article about Giles Corey and wow what a gruesome way to die. Took 2 days.

Didn't they know that if they'd been true witches they would have gotten themselves out of the whole situation. Giles' fortitude reminds me of my dad who will be 80 tomorrow. He would say the same things as Giles, never giving in. T.
