The belief of Witches had been founded long ago in Europe, but it didn't reach Salem until the 1600's. The Puritans, who founded the Salem Plantation, believed in being completely pure. They had separated from England because they didn't like the church and the rules so they made their own. If they had thought you were a witch they believed that killing was what God demanded. Their were ridiculous trials without evidence against people who were believed to be witches. Most were killed if they were believed to be a witches.
