The Salem had a toruble with witch craft by a disease because the Puritans thought that the victims were acting like the devil
They were not. The Salem witch Trials were compared to the MaCarthy trials because of the fear of something considered evil infiltrating a community. They are not related, just similiar.
Salem, Massachusetts... and I think they were burned actually. EDIT: The Salem Witches were hanged, not burned. The graves of the victims are very scarce, seeing as the bodies were thrown off of Gallows Hill after execution.
A person who believed in the ideas of the Enlightenment might have assessed the Salem witch trials as being abuses of power. He probably would have thought that the women weren't treated with the natural rights owed to people, including freedom from torture.
The panic spread to neighboring towns and accusations by people from other towns of people from other towns began. Some non-Salem residents were executed. For example, Martha Carrier was from Andover.
The witch trials only happened in Salem.

I think you're thinking about witch PINS. These were used to prick a witch in several areas on their body. If they found a place where they did not react with pain, they were guilty.
> The Salem Witch Tours and Attractions in Salem, MA are the best! It is a mix of history and horror all at the same time. > There are lots of great Halloween events in Massachusetts, but I think the best are probably in Salem. They have great haunted tours and the witch museum is always fun.
Not particularly. The Salem Witch Trials were persecuting so-called witches, and Nazi anti-Semitism was persecuting Jews. They both made the persecuted people end up in smoke, but other than that, I can't think of anything.
If my memory serves me correctly they were burned at the stake, stoned, drowned, and a few others but I think these were the main execution styles.

It simple. If they say what the people who are torturing them want to hear, the pain would stop.
You make the mistake of assuming historians agree on everything. They don't, plain and simple. Historians agree on the obvious facts but disagree on the explanations of the grey areas.
