Nineteen people, fourteen women and five men, were hanged for witchcraft during the Salem witch panic. Another was pressed to death during court proceedings.
The accusations of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials were primarily made by Puritans. The trials, which took place in 1692 in colonial Massachusetts, involved a series of hearings and prosecutions of individuals accused of witchcraft, largely fueled by religious fervor and societal tensions. While Pilgrims and Puritans both sought to create a "pure" community, it was the Puritans who were directly involved in the Salem events. The hysteria led to the execution of 20 people and the imprisonment of many others.
None, for two reasons. First, none of the executed were actually witches by any definition. Second, in Puritan New England, witchcraft was a capital crime, thus the punishment for witchcraft was hanging.
Trails originally used by native Americans for trade plus newer trails blazed by explorers and guides. Some of these trails acquired the names:Oregon trailCalifornia trailMormon trailSanta Fe trailBozeman trailetc.

The Witch trails happened.
Nineteen people were executed. The hundred and a half that remained in jail until they were pardoned had to sue to regain confiscated property. Puritanism lost some of its hold on Massachusetts because of the hangings of innocent people that Puritan religion said were guilty.
