Only regular people were executed during the Salem Witch Trials. No Pagans. No witches. They were tried because the townspeople wanted their property, land, and possessions.

*No. During the early modern period in Europe, there was much debate among religion, due to the surge of the Protestant Reformation. This difference in views led to much animosity, and people questioning their own beliefs. The idea of witches was the easiest explanation and way to relieve the religious tension. After a while, people realized they could use that justification to get rid of people who were usually one of four things; widowed, independent, single, or promiscuous, and almost always a woman.*
