Salem Witch Trials

The Salem witch trials of 1692 constitute a formative event in the evolution of American civil society. They expressed a theocratic mind-set supported by civil power over life and death. The significance of the Salem witch trials can be seen chiefly in the fact that they serve as an object lesson in governance. History has thoroughly discredited them as state murder. The key issue of importance in the Salem witch trials has to do with the proper role of government and religion in civil society and the power ratios between and among individuals and between individuals and the social structure they inhabit. To see how these elements come together, a recital of the facts is in order. Between May and October of 1692, 20 women and men in Salem, Massachusetts, were executed for witchcraft.

Cause of the Salem Witch Trials The 1692 Salem Witch Trials highlight the horrific ramifications of dogmatic Puritanism in 17th century Massachusetts society. The captivating events that culminated in the execution of 20 citizens have been an issue of great intrigue for centuries. While there is disagreement as to the cause of the trials, it is evident that understanding the inducement of that summer?s events is imperative to understanding Puritan society. Evidence suggests that the events of 1692, which likely began as childish play, came to fruition as a result of dogmatism, paranoia, and ensuing political opportunism between the Putnam and Porter families.
