Salem Witch Trials, 1692
The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions in 1692 in colonial Massachusetts, where more than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft. Sparked by fear, superstition, and mass hysteria, the trials led to 20 executions and remain a cautionary tale about injustice and scapegoating.
