In class we have been learning about the witch trials of the middle ages. This period of history saw innocent women being blamed for events they could not possibly have caused. For example illness, dead crops, poor weather and mouldy bread were all blamed on these so-called witches. While most of the world no longer believes in witches, are there any lessons we can learn from this horrible event in history? Are there any other examples of where innocent people have been blamed for problems?
