Salem Witch Trials
The Salem Witch Trials start in Massachusetts during the 1690's when 3 sick girls are said to be affected by witch craft. The first three women the girls blamed of witchcraft were Tituba, Sarah Goode, and Sarah Osborne. They start accusing more and more people and upstanding members of society of witchcraft. The Salem Witch trials are not just about religion, but also about land. People from the west side of town, with not so good soil would accuse people from the east side of town where the soil was good and they had access to the roads. The trials end when they accuse the governors wife of witchcraft. By the time the trials were over, 20 people were executed. The significance is that about 20 years later the government apologizes because there was never enough evidence to convict anyone and compensates the families of those convicted.
