Daniel Shields-Salem Witch for hst 101-695 Daniel Shields
The Salem Witch Trials occurred from 1692-1693 in colonial Massachusetts, resulting in the executions of 20 people accused of witchcraft. The trials began when two young girls, Betty Parris and Abigail Williams, accused Parris' slave Tituba of witchcraft under questioning. Their accusations led to a widespread hysteria that overwhelmed the local justice system. Over 150 people were accused and imprisoned, with most being accused due to relationships with the already condemned or owning small amounts of land. Religious extremism and isolationism were factors that contributed to the mass hysteria. The trials had long-lasting effects on the community and remain a cautionary tale about the dangers of scapegoating.
