The play was based in 1692, when a community of Puritans started accusing each other of of being witches and wizards.

His father’s passing affected his life in multiple ways, for example, he was given 10 slaves at this time, but would go on to accumulate over 300 before his death.

In fact, Washington was so bothered by this that he pursued a life of self-education. He even established

With the amount of plantation Carolina soon had more African slaves than colonists. This lead to the same fear in Barbados with thoughts that the African majority would rebel.
