Sarah Osborne was ostracized during the Salem witch trials primarily due to her unconventional behavior and social status. A widow who had remarried and was involved in property disputes, she was seen as an outsider in the Puritan community. Additionally, her association with other marginalized figures and her refusal to conform to societal norms made her a target for accusations of witchcraft. This combination of social alienation and community fear contributed to her ostracization.
