Quote for the Day:

From this period a reaction commenced. Those who four years before originated the trials suddenly became objects of hatred or contempt. Even the clergy, who had taken a leading part in them, became unpopular. In spite of the strenuous attempts of Dr. Cotton Mather and his disciples to revive the agitation, the tide of public opinion or feeling had set the other way, and people began to acknowledge the insufficiency of the evidence and the possible innocence of the condemned.

1. Once the people of Salen had sobered up from ergotism

which is something limited to their area and which had not spread to Boston, I'm sure they were easily shown how flimsy the evicence had been, were thoroughly ashamed of themselves, and did lose faith in any of the men who had made political hay out of the witch hysteria.

No accused witches were burned in Salem. Several were hanged, several died in prison awaiting trial, and one man was crushed to death under heavy stones in an attempt to get a confession out of him.
