The Salem Witch Trials was caused by  many things, however the abvusive power was the most significant cause of the hysteria. All of the people were accused were either hung or pressed to death. Not only were people being killed, but they killed all of the "witches" accused that month at one time. This could have just been because they wanted to get everyone killed at one time and not have to constantly redo everything. ALthough, it was most likely due to causing a spectacle to enhance the fear (created by the powerul.) (Document A) Also,  as mentioned in Document D, people "became intoxicated... by the terrible success." This means that people took their acting fame to power and became power hungry.

The Salem witch trail of 1692 was very important for various reasons. First it caused many men and women to be executed for practicing "Witchcraft." Knowing that many people are being accused of being a witch this caused lots of anarchy around Salem. Second, the Salem Witch Trails caused society to be divided between the poor and the rich. This gap caused the poor to accuse the rich of being witches possibly trying to gain more power and wealth (Doc E). These reasons have not only  provokes many questions about the time period, but it has earn an important spot in history.
