The infamous Salem witch trials, which took place in colonial Massachusetts between 1692 and 1693, were a dark period in America's legal history. More than 200 people were wrongfully accused of practicing witchcraft, and 20 were executed. In the 328 years since, most of the accused have been cleared of any crimes. However, for reasons unknown, Elizabeth Johnson Jr., who was just 22 at the time, was never pardoned. Now, thanks to the hard work of an eighth-grade class from North Andover Middle School, MA, her name may finally be cleared.

bcswlsn약 4년That's horrible there is never a excuse to do such a thing
l1ng약 4년It really was horrible what they did to those women. Sometimes they didn't even show any sign of practicing witchcraft. The men could basically make fake accusations that a women was supposedly a witch and most of the time people believed them. Although I have also heard of something where if a person was accused of which craft they would put the person's body in water (at the time they believed that water was pure). If the person's body sunk, the water was excepting them and were deemed not a witch. If their body was floating then the water was rejecting them and were therefore deemed a witch.
