Salem Witch Trials information?

Question

I know a little about the Witch Trials, but not much. I know the basic information, but I wanted to get more in depth with it. Is there any important information that I should definitely know, other than basic info?

Answer 1

I found several sites that have interesting information. The last link I put below has a resources page once you enter the site and that link leads to more information.

It's nice to see someone who really wants to learn. :) Enjoy the sites.

Answer 2

People accused of having beliefs counter to the local officials were hung because others were afraid they would be accused and hung as well, i.e. localized tyranny.

Evil did actually exist but it wasn't from the accused; it was because good people did nothing.

Compare to McCarthism for extra points.
