Why Did Abigail Williams To Blame For The Crucible

The death of an entire town because a group of girls lied about dancing in the woods. In the town of Salem, innocent people died in the town of witchery because a group of girls. The only proof they had of witchery was other people’s word that was in the town. Most people blamed others so they were free and they no longer were the bad people. I believe Abigail Williams is the one that should be blamed for the deaths because she lied about what was going on in the woods and blamed other people in the town to be witches so they were no longer looking at her any longer.

Also how she used her lie so she could try and break apart the Proctor family so she can have John Proctor to herself. Abigail Williams is the one who destroyed an entire town because she wanted love and to not get in
