Abolitionist was name was given to a person who opposed slavery.

After a few girls were accused of being witches—most famously during the Salem witch trials** in 1692 in colonial Massachusetts—a chain reaction of fear, accusations, and legal action followed. Here's a brief overview of what happened:

1. **Initial Accusations**

* In Salem Village, several young girls began exhibiting strange behaviors (screaming, convulsing, etc.) and claimed they were being tormented by witches.
* They accused local women of practicing witchcraft, starting with marginalized individuals like **Tituba** (an enslaved woman), **Sarah Good**, and **Sarah Osborne**.

2. Mass Hysteria and More Accusations

* The community was gripped by fear of the devil and witchcraft.
* The accusations quickly spread beyond the original group, with dozens of people (including respected townsfolk) being accused.
* The legal system accepted “spectral evidence” (testimony that the spirit or specter of the accused harmed someone), which made defending oneself very difficult.

### 3. **Trials and Executions**

* Special courts were set up to handle the cases.
* Nineteen people were **executed by hanging**, and one man, **Giles Corey**, was **pressed to death** with heavy stones for refusing to plead.
* Others died in jail, and hundreds were imprisoned.

### 4. **Public Doubt and End of the Trials**

* As accusations spread to more prominent citizens, skepticism grew.
* The governor of Massachusetts, **William Phips**, eventually stopped the trials and disbanded the special court in late 1692.
* In 1693, those still in jail were released.

### 5. **Aftermath and Legacy**

* In the years that followed, the colony admitted the trials were a mistake.
* Some of the judges and accusers apologized; compensation was paid to the families of the victims.
* The Salem witch trials remain a powerful symbol of mass hysteria, injustice, and the dangers of scapegoating.
