Witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts, was influenced by a combination of social, religious, and economic factors in the late 17th century. The Puritan community's strict moral code and deep-seated fears of the supernatural created an environment ripe for suspicion. Tensions arose from local conflicts, economic hardships, and existing rivalries, which fueled accusations against marginalized individuals. The infamous Salem witch trials of 1692 were a culmination of these factors, leading to widespread paranoia and tragic consequences.
