They believed that the trials were caused by the fact that there were witches and those witches had to be condemned. They thought that the witches were a sign that Massachusetts wasn't religious enough anymore.
The Trials were conducted in the towns of Salem Village, Salem Town, Andover, and Ipswich. The accused were said to be Witches from the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Middlesex, in Massachusetts, New England.
The Court of Oyer and Terminer was the legal body formed by the governor to perform the Trials of the accused witches.
The Salem trials were held in the summer and early autumn of 1692. There were other witch trials in Massachusetts. For example, there were witch trials and hangings in Boston in 1656.
The last of the Salem Witch trials ended in may 1693
