Salem Witch Trials 1692: The Birth of American Mass Hysteria

In 1692, a single accusation in Salem Village ignited a frenzy that would claim 20 lives and imprison hundreds. Starting with the strange fits of two girls, the Salem Witch Trials spread through the Massachusetts Bay Colony, leading to the creation of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, the execution of Bridget Bishop, and the pressing death of Giles Corey. By October, Governor William Phips halted the trials, and the colony later compensated families of the condemned. This short dives into the timeline, key figures like Reverend Samuel Parris, Judge William Stoughton, and Rebecca Nurse, and explains how the hysteria reshaped American legal standards. #USHistory #AmericanHistory
