The most prominent Puritan minister in Massachusetts at the time would either be Increase or Cotton Mather. Increase, Cotton's father, was in England trying to get the colony's charter back during most of the trials, making Cotton the most prominent that was physically there.

Samuel Parris and Nicholas Noyes were the ministers in Salem Village and Salem Town respectivly, so both would have an impact on a witch crisis in Salem.

Who accused people of witchcraft at the Salem witch trials pilgrims or puritans?

The individuals who accused others of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials were primarily Puritans. The Puritan community in Salem Village, Massachusetts, was characterized by strict religious beliefs and a strong emphasis on moral conduct, which contributed to the witch hunt atmosphere. The trials took place in 1692, fueled by fear, superstition, and social tensions within the Puritan society. While the Pilgrims were also Puritans, they were a separate group that settled in Plymouth and were not directly involved in the Salem trials.


Did the pilgrims or puritans accuse people of witchcraft at the Salem Witch Trails?

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.
