Salem Witch Trials - A Brief Overview from Beginning to the End #807680

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Salem Witch Trials to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.

The Salem witch trials were a blot on American history. They occurred in colonial Massachusetts between 1692 and 1693. This period of mass hysteria by young girls and spiteful behavior among friends and neighbors caused a situation where more than 200 people were accused of witchcraft, and 20 were executed, mostly by hanging. 
The Salem community and the colony of Massachusetts did finally recognize the injustice of the trials, but this was of no comfort to the victims and their families, even though the families received compensation. The injustices perpetrated by the Salem witch trials had a direct effect on the protection of the accused by the modern American justice system and remind us of the risks that fear and ignorance bring to the stability of a community.
