Who was the person that was responsible for the exacusions during the Salem witch trials?
THE US GOVERNMENT was responsible for the Salem Witch Trial executions! As well as anyone in the community ignorant enough to accuse someone of being a Witch! Since there wasn't a Constitution at the time (1690's), a suspected person was brought to trial and if they were so much as left handed (which was considered EVIDENCE one was "of the Devil") they were convicted and sentenced to execution. How sad it was! Needless to say, America has come a long way! EDIT: The people of Salem were not ignorant. They had been raised to believe in the devil and witchcraft as an explanation for what they didn't understand at the time. It's like us of th 21t century saying aliens create crop circles. In Salem, being left-handed was not enough. It wasn't even enough in Europe. Accused witches at the time got a fair trial, perhaps a fairer trial than many today.
