The Salem Witchcraft Trials occurred in Salem, Massachusetts from 1692 to 1693. During this madness 140 were arrested, nineteen hanged, and one crushed to death (“Salem Witch Trials”). Although only two dozen witches were executed in Salem, over ten thousand people were killed across Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (Possible Causes of the Salem Witch Hunts). Those who were accused of witchcraft in Salem provided their defense. Theorists examined the defense of these people and the history of Salem to determine the real truth.
Salem Village was established in the late 1630s in what is now Danvers, Massachusetts. The people of this village were Puritans (Witchcraft In Salem Village). ... The first accused witches were Tituba, a slave, Sarah Goode and Sarah Osborne (“The Salem Witch Trials”). ... Tituba later confessed to being a witch while Sarah Goode and Sarah Osborne were taken to jail in Boston. Sarah Osborne died of natural causes while in jail (“Salem Witchcraft”).
