what’s bad about witchcraft?
Wait so salem trials are first thats apsurd about 20 people were killed ,third place is more brutal…
Every human life is same, even if you live in america, it dosnt even compare to more than 300 killed vs 20…
Please be real;im not being anti american but this is stupid
For the Spanish Inquisition you should put the true blood inquisition scene it’ll fit perfectly
We need it again, they appear with pussy hats and keep blaming men
Fucking hell thats not how you say chelmsford
(sees #1) Called it.
