Most people who were accused of witchcraft in Salem were hanged. Witches weren’t burned at the stake in colonial New England, historians told VERIFY.Salem, MA - June 8, 2019: Exterior of the Salem Witch Museum which tells the story of the 1692 witch trails in Salem, Massachusettssocial mediaContrary to popular belief, people convicted of witchcraft in Salem and throughout colonial New England were not burned at the stake, historians told VERIFY..
Though Salem is the most infamous location of the witch trials, it’s not the only one that took place in America. In 17th-century Connecticut, for example, dozens of people were accused of witchcraft and more than 10 were hanged, During witch trials that took place across continental Europe, tens of thousands of people accused of witchcraft were executed and many were burned at the stake, according to Baker. Games also said “witches in most jurisdictions in Europe” were burned.
The erroneous information about witches in colonial New England being burned at the stake can also be traced back to a U.S. congressman’s 1849 speech, according to Baker. Virginia Congressman Henry Bedinger was angry with his Massachusetts colleagues who were trying to abolish slavery, so he leveled his own criticism at the state.
