Three examples of Nathaniel Hawthorne's anger towards Salem in Custom House are given below.

Explanation:

Hawthorne was an administrator at the Custom House. For what he lost his job is not known clearly but he assumes that it might have been because of the malice of the Whigs when General Taylor had become the President. The Custom House is said to be an autobiographical sketch that describes Hawthorne's life as an employee of the Salem Custom House. He had written to expand the tale of "The Scarlet Letter," since he thought it to be a short story.

The settlers in America in the 1600s had formed a society based on the will of God but by the time it reached 1700s the initial essence was lost. Hawthorne wrote this novel to express his anger and rejection towards his ancestors. His ancestors were Puritans. His anger towards this Puritan culture that impacted Salem at that time.
