The burning of witches is more a cliché that a real fact. The truth is that the burning of people convicted for being witches was not very common in England. By the time of the colonies, English law forbade burning people alive; this also means that the people convicted in Salem for witchcraft was not burned at the stake alive, they were hanged up to death.
