RE: Your opinion on why New Salem died
People in the surrounding areas certainly heard of the brutal people that terrorized New Salem. If you were going to establish a good, safe and friendly place for the county seat, you would not select New Salem. Eventually the people of New Salem migrated to Petersburg and other friendlier places.
