None. In Colonial America, witchcraft was a felony punishable by death by hanging. However, in Europe witchcraft was considered heresy and punishable by burning at the stake. So instead they tortured, locked them in filthy jails, crushed one under heavy stones and hung Nineteen people and as many as thirteen people may have died in prison.
The only comparison is that people were killed. The Salem trials were legal trials caused by a religious panic and was contained to a single county. Only twenty people died and those deaths were technically legalized. Jonestown was sheer massacre because of cultish mentality.
