The Salem Witch Trials were one of Colonial America's most notorious cases of mass hysteria. All in all, more than two hundred people were accused between February 1692 and May 1693. Thirty were found guilty and nineteen were executed. The trials have been described as a vivid cautionary tale about the dangers of isolationism, religious extremism, false accusations, and lapses in due process.
