If a person is guilty of being a witch they where hung, drowned or burned if they survived (unlikely) they where killed, if they died (likely) they where pardoned and life went on like normal.

EDIT:

After the Salem Witch Trials, about 136 people who hadn't been executed (only 19 were hanged and one was pressed to death) were pardoned and released. They went home and began the long process of regaining what they had lost when their propety had been confiscated as possible evidence. To put how long it could take in perspective, Abigail Faulkner was accused and imprisoned. She was convicted but given a stay of execution because she was pregnant. She died in 1730 just after gaining restitution.

The accused that had been pardoned were released from prison adn allowed to go home. Most, if not all, began the long, hard legal process of regaining property confiscated by the state upon their arrest.

The only change in the church was a decrease in its power over the government. The only change in the government was the sudden lack on religious influence.
