1692 Salem Witch Trials

*Timeline for The Salem Witch Trials*

In the late 17th century Salem was divided into two; Salem Village and Salem town. In Salem town one could find the economically wealthy families. In the other hand, Salem village was divided between two families, Putnam's and Porters, as well of including imagination, fear, and hysteria of the people one can imply was the main cause of the Salem witch Trials.

In the Salem witch trials more than 200 people were accused for practicing witchcraft but 20 were actually executed. Eventually, everything came to an end right after the governor's wife getting accused of witchcraft and ordering for the trials to be terminated. Following with the apologizes and compensation.

This collection includes pictures of the prime people involved in the Salem Witch Trials and paintings demonstrating the hangings and accusations. Also I included my personal opinion towards the key characters of the Salem Witch trials and my perspective of the reasoning behind their actions.
