What Mary Surratt’s Sentence Should’ve Actually Been Mary Surratt should have not been executed, but she should have instead received a prison sentence to life. This is because of her participation in the Lincoln assassination conspiracy and her dishonesty. First of all, she was partially in the conspiracy meaning that she was not one of the original co-conspirators. In Source 2 it says, “It is possible that Mary knew of the kidnapping plot but not the plan to kill Lincoln.”
MARY SURRATT WAS GUILTY AND WAS RIGHTFULLY EXECUTED. Mary Surratt was guilty and was rightfully executed because, she hid guns for John Wilkes Booth behind her husbands tavern. Also she was a close friend to John Wilkes Booth when the police came they asked her, where is your friend John wilkes Booth. Mary Surratt hid guns for John Wilkes Booth, that were later on used to kill Abraham Lincoln. John Wilkes Booth said he would pick up the guns or shooting irons with a small package.

Mary Surratt supplied a home and food for John Wilkes Booth. She should have only want to jail for what she did to help John Wilkes Booth. Mary Surratt did help plan plots with Booth but
She would have been a serious threat to the queen as Mary had a claim to the English throne which was based on the fact that she was the grand-daughter of Margaret Tudor (Henry VIII’s sister). In the eyes of the Catholics, Mary's claim appeared stronger than Elizabeth's because they believed that Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn was illegal. This would have seriously threatened Elizabeth’s security as there was a possibility that Elizabeth could lose her place on the English throne, therefore endangering her safety, royal supremacy, religious settlement. However, this threat didn’t remain as on the 19th May 1568, Elizabeth imprisoned her cousin. This shows that Mary, who was a prestigious Catholic, didn’t remain a threat to Elizabeth’s security as she was imprisoned for 19 years and was consequently unable to do anything about Elizabeth being queen.

Mary knew this and she is distraught. Mary and Abigail’s relationship is contingent on the fact that Mary helps Abigail with her plans. Mary argues with herself many times, such as in the trials and she tells the truth to help John Proctor. However, she still switches sides and conforms back to Abigail’s ways. Even though she feels guilty, Mary still goes to great lengths to save herself from being punished, regardless of the consequences to others in the play.
John convinces Mary that she must go in front of the court, and prove his wife is innocent. Mary Warren says, “I never saw no spirits” (Act 3, 1147). These four words put doubt in everyone that is involved in the rumors since the beginning. This may not have freed Elizabeth but in a way it has freed Mary Warren’s soul because she knows she did the right thing. Rumors took a toll on Mary Warren in a way no one will ever forget.
Mary Warren's discreet selfishness led to Elizabeth Proctor being jailed and John Proctor being hanged. In Act Two, Mary came home from the courthouse and gifted Elizabeth with a poppet she spent all day sewing because it symbolizes something out of the ordinary, perhaps witchcraft (Miller 56). She is trying to frame Elizabeth for having something strange in her home that she should not have. Mary does this because her friend Abigail wants Elizabeth Proctor gone so Abigail can be with her husband, John Proctor. Mary wants Abigail to approve of her and will do whatever it takes to get that approval; however, Mary does.
She once took Abigail’s side during the beginning of the trials to save her own self. Later, turning against Abigail to save John’s wife Elizabeth, she is asked by John Proctor to turn against the girls and help him “overthrow” the court or she would be beat. As soon as word gets out to the other girls that Mary is for John Proctor they instantly accuse Mary of being a witch and for torturing the girls. Mary is described as a “big yellow bird that has come to tear away Abigail’s face” (1260).
She was a also in the woods with the women and was accused of witchery. She didn’t want to hurt Abigail and Abigail played mind tricks on her. Mary was trialed and also lied about Abigail and brought elizabeths name in the trial. Mary Warren caused more drama in the court instead of putting it to rest. “A fire, a fire is burning!
She had many followers; the church began to keep an eye on her which led to her trial. During the trial she was supported by the men she followed in the faith. Her religious views became her downfall within Boston, as she was imprisoned and

Mary Warren is a young girl who is a servant for the Proctors. Mary is the one who made the poppet for Elizabeth and put the needle into the poppet. Because she is the only one who can prove that Elizabeth is innocent and get her out of jail, John Proctor forces her to testify in court despite the fact that Mary is terrified of Abigail. Due to the actions of Abigail that pressure Mary to lie, she accuses John Proctor as she says “‘my name, her want my name. I’ll murder you, he says, if my wife hangs!
¨Cheerleading isn’t a sport because they cheer for other ones.¨ Most people would consider it not a sport, but I am here to tell you why I think it is. Not just because I’m a cheerleader, it’s my opinion and firm belief cheer should be recognized as a sport. Many people get injured and you have vigorous training that in most cases could be harder than training for basketball, for example. Cheerleaders have to be able to throw people, not just a ball. That requires a lot of conditioning and sometimes occasional injuries.
