Sara Good was accused during the Salem Witch Trials primarily due to her status as a social outcast and her reputation as a beggar. She was often viewed with suspicion by the community, and her contentious relationships with others made her a target. Additionally, her alleged behavior and the testimonies against her, including claims of witchcraft by several young girls, fueled the accusations, ultimately leading to her execution in 1692.

Who were the first people to be accused during the Salem Witch Trials?

The religious zealots. <----- This answer is not true. The real truth is that in 1688, Samuel Parris was invited to preach at the church in Salem, Massachusettes, and to bring his family, his wife, Elizabeth, his six-year-old daughter Betty, niece Abagail Williams, and his Indian slave Tituba. The village girls were caught fortune-telling with Tituba, and to save themselves, blamed older women and men of being in league with the devil, and forcing them to do witchcraft. The accusers were all young girls. 25 people died between June 10th and October 1st, 1692.
