Were there still witches after the Salem witch trails?
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. There are Wiccans this day, who practice their religion. And there are real witches also, who bend reality and even ride brooms. Most witches live in the Hollow, so, rarely will you meet one. *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.*

Why did you think the vikings did not try to colonize the Americans?
They probably did not want to settle there, with all the people arriving, and the struggling government. They probably werent even thinking about America at the time.
Was life easy for witches in medieval times?
People who had practices that might be interpreted as witchcraft, or who might have been accused, were much more likely to be treated well during the Middle Ages than they were later. A superstitious fear of witches has existed in many societies, and medieval Europe was no exception. There were cases of witches being killed by various groups of people, at times. And so it was necessary for governments to step in. The laws of the Franks and the Lombards, at the time of Charlemagne, explicitly made belief in witchcraft a superstition, and made killing a person for practicing witchcraft murder, unless it could be proven that the witch had actually killed someone. The Middle Ages lasted a thousand years, and there were many countries, with many different legal codes, in it. There were countries where witchcraft was considered a crime. But this was not general over all of Europe, or even over all of Western Europe. Inquisitions, or investigations, into witchcraft began in various parts of Europe at just about the same time as the Italian Renaissance. The early inquisitions were not aimed at large parts of populations, and were not witch hunts, as they only took place where there were accusations against individuals. No one was actively trying to look through everyone in town to find out who were witches, and who were not. The inquisitions in which entire populations were put to the test did not happen until the Middle Ages were over. The first set of instructions on how to identify witches began to circulate in 1487, a year after the end date most historians use for the Middle Ages. Witch hunts, with large numbers of people identified as witches and punished for that practice, came after that. I have seen estimates of that there were about 1000 people executed as witches during the Middle Ages, though such estimates are really professional guesses. The best estimates for the number of people executed as witches during the time of 1450 to 1750 seem to run from about 35000. So the people of medieval Europe, who are commonly called superstitious, executed an average of one person per year in the entire continent. But the people of the European Renaissance and the years following, who are thought of as enlightened, executed an average of about 1100 to 1200.

What was the red scare about?
The read scare was when people in America thought Democracy was being jepordized and people were becoming communists and trying to "overthrow" (for lack of a better word) the democratic government. Alot of innocent people were put on these government lists ( i forget the name) if they were even suspected of being communists when they often werent. Then they sometimes got sent to jail or worse....they were executed. The government was scared that they were spies. for example Julius and ethel rosenberg who were executed because they were suspected to be communist spies.
What did witches do in the 1500-1600?
Witches were said to be able to speak with the devi, and with his help they could communicate with the dead. Some could see into the future. They could make people ill using spells and potions or even kill people. They could fly and make themselves invisible at will. They used animal such as cats or birds (familiars) as disguises for the evil spirits who served them. They could bring bad weather, such as storms or lightning, to affect ships and ruin crops. Basically, people blamed witches for anything that went wrong! Fact: In Scotland between 1590 and 1680, it is estimated that4400 'witches' were executed. Witch hunters (like Matthew Hopkins) used to look for signs showing if people were witches or not (if they saw an old woman with a pet cat or a familiar they may have accused them of being a witch). Many witch hunters didn't even believe in witches and just did the job for the money. Also, many people who were accused of witchcraft only admitted to being a witch to stop the torture.
