Best Answer

The Salem Witchcraft Trials are a series of tests and trials conducted by Puritan Colonists to discover and punish suspected witches. One example of a witch trial was forcing them into a body of water. The Puritans believed that if the women floated that they were witches, and they would have to be killed. Unfortunately, not very many people learned how to swim back then, so the women would usually drown.
