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.

nazujycu-1634910040213년 이상What they did was very cruel and brutal but it does make sense why they would do it. Salem, Massachusetts was a very religious community. What would you think if people in your small town during the 1600's started having seizures and that people feel like they are being possessed. The only thing they could think of was witchcraft. They did not execute the women for no reason, they didn't know better. They did not have science and medicine like today. What they did was horrible but if you grew in Salem when the Salem Witch Trials were happening, you would probably think they were witches too.
