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.

pink_fox11약 4년couldn't they just like, maybe give them a test to prove if they are witches or not? also if Salem was scrict, didn,t they teach children not to lie or were they telling the truth? p.s. that's just cruel, harsh, rude, and sad.

tacocat_411약 4년No, on her husband i believe because he refused to let it happen.
genericperson01약 4년if they were witches they would have survived because witches have M A G I C- wujediwe-1636400667724년 이하I don't think they thought witches would use magic back then. They thought witches were the reason of strange behavior or activities, sent from the devil himself.

laylaysis약 4년Wow
scissccisd약 4년What 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.- rubberduckie12약 4년It's sad how true that is.
catwwii약 4년No, they did execute the women for no reason, they accused them without any solid proof!- pink_fox11약 4년technally the kids were their proof so your right and wrong.
