In historical contexts, particularly during events like the Salem Witch Trials, people often blamed witches for misfortunes due to societal fears, superstition, and a lack of understanding of natural phenomena. Witches were seen as scapegoats for various problems, such as crop failures, illness, or unexplained deaths. This blame allowed communities to rally together against a common enemy, while also diverting attention from internal issues or personal failures. Moreover, the witch hunts often reflected deeper social tensions and injustices within the community.
