The funny thing is, the more I researched into the people of that time, the more I realize that everybody was really involved in some type of old country folk divination. Folks just knew to keep it on the down low as they say. My family mostly comes from Scotland, Ireland, and the rural back country areas of England...so doing things "the old way" is still frequent in my family (I myself practiced auld tyme Celtic religion). Three of my ancestors did die in the Salem witch trials but due to the fact that Mary Bradbury avoided being lynched is the reason why I live today. I love your video by the way. 🍀💚🍀

Thanks for the video. I descend from 30 different people accused in Salem. Some of them being Elizabeth Howe, Martha Carrier, the Dane Family, and the Toothaker Family. I’ve been doing extensive research on this ancestry for years and have found so many things to be different from what we were taught in schools. The main one I noticed here is that you did mention that Tituba was most likely not from Africa, but a native. Thanks for doing the research to speak on matters of truth ❤.

The original story was they accused her of putting witch craft on the girls, so she did all of this to burn the whole town around where they started accusing one another and..well we know how it all went down. She then freed her own self and lived as a powerful wealthy women somewhere in the Caribbean (probably back to barbados)

Big misconception is that black or human/hue man (color man) primarily come from from Africa but actually India, southern Asian (Guam, Malaysian, Cambodia, etc) indigenous people from carribean and southern natives of americas are phonetically the same, just different language and culture. Which explains why the Europeans made no distinction between them, dark skinned Indians and native Americans, moors etc. This also explains why certain practices such as the building of pyramids and herbal practices from voodoo (or Santeria in Puerto Rico or Native American version called hoodoo) made their way from Africa to southern and Carrbbian americas the same as the people over thousand of yrs earlier… its not surprising that tituba or onsimous (taught innoculation for smallpox, look him up) taught Europeans these practices just like they taught the pilgrims how to farm properly. If you look at pic of early southern Indians such as the gula gichie, they look no different than blacks

The Gullah Geechee ppl are Black as they were the descendants of West Africans. And everything does come from Africa, it’s not a misconception. Have you wondered why there are Asians that are as dark as Africans? Ppl are not dark simply bc they live closer to the equator. They share an ancestral trait that gives them the genetic diversity for different skin tone variations and that gene came from Africans.

In his diary entry on Sept. 22, 1681, Increase Mather - father of the legendary clergyman Cotton Mather and later a president of Harvard College - wrote of “a negro woman who burnt 2 houses at Roxbury July 12.” The woman, Maria, described as a servant - often a euphemism for an enslaved person at the time ― of Joshua Lambe, was convicted of arson for using a hot coal to set fire to the house of a local doctor and Lambe’s home. As punishment, Mather wrote, “the negro woman was burned to death.” He went on to explain that she was the first woman to suffer this fate in New England.

The Author concludes that it’s likely that was from an Arawak tribe in northeastern South America, and enslaved and brought to Barbados. If you happen to grab the book, check out page 12.

It is highly likely that Tituba was an Arawak woman based on the time period she was thought to be born, and what was happening in South America and the Caribbean islands at the time. She may have adopted some parts of African culture as a result of Africans who lived along side her during her time in the Caribbean.
