Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Witchcraft was a major one!. The Puritans were devout Christians, and the Bible condemns witchcraft, so Puritans participated in witch hunts, which often involves torture and often ends in hanging or burning at the stake!.

This site is about the Salem Witchcraft Trials, a witch hunt directed by Puritans in 1692!. http://www!.law!.umkc!.edu/faculty/projects!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
