Between June and September, in 1692, in Salem Mass, 19 people were hung on the charge of Witchcraft. They were accused of Witchcraft. They were not the ones that did the accusing. Giles Corey was pressed death by stones for not pleading guilty to the charge of Witchcraft. Other people died while imprisoned.
When people begin to suspect that Abigail is pretending about witchcraft, she becomes increasingly defensive and manipulative. She tries to shift the blame onto others, particularly targeting those she sees as threats, like Elizabeth Proctor. Abigail also uses her influence over the other girls to maintain control and create a sense of fear, ensuring that they support her claims and accusations to divert attention from herself. Ultimately, she resorts to intimidation and deceit to protect her own interests.
People who confessed to Witchcraft were punished. They were burned alive or hung. The people who would not confess were tortured until they confessed or until they died.
